Getting admitted into the U.S. and paying for your flight training (private pilot, instrument rating, commercial pilot, and multi-engine rating) with likely cost about $50,000 USD or approximately 3715000 Nepalese Rupee. In order to get admitted by U.S. Homeland Security for training, you must pass a background check and prove you have the funds to pay, so you must have a scholarship in advance. As a non-U.S. citizen, the odds of you getting a scholarship are very slim. I am not aware of any scholarship that will pay for a foreign national to come to the U.S. and fund the cost of their training. Most flight scholarships are small awards given to residents of a specific geographic area, university, or organization in the $1,000-$2,000 range, which really does not cover a lot. A few university scholarships cover more, but you must be a student enrolled in that specific university flight program to even apply.

Here is the website with the information that foreign nationals need about coming to the USA to fly-

There is a $125 fee just to process your application and do a background screening. Part of the application includes proof of funds to pay for your training courses.
