Nepal's eSIM

Nepal is worth being straightforward about. Our selection here is small — 14 plans, starting at $3.65, with no 5G and no SMS on any of them. That reflects what is available wholesale rather than what we would prefer to offer, and for some travellers a local SIM bought in Kathmandu will be the better value option.

Where a travel eSIM makes sense is convenience on arrival: install the profile before you fly and it works when you land at Tribhuvan, with no queue and no paperwork at a time when you are likely tired and arranging a transfer.

For trekking, treat this differently. Coverage on the Annapurna and Everest Base Camp routes exists in places but is unreliable, and no mobile plan is a substitute for the satellite communication that trekking agencies carry. Use the eSIM for Kathmandu, Pokhara and the road sections.

Networks and coverage

None of our 14 Nepal plans include 5G — all run on 4G/LTE, which is adequate in Kathmandu, Pokhara and the Terai towns. None include SMS, so plan around that if you rely on verification codes.

Coverage follows the road network and the valleys. Higher trekking routes have intermittent service at teahouses on the main trails and none at all off them. Above roughly 4,000 metres, assume no connection.

Frequently asked questions

Why are there so few Nepal plans?
Availability depends on wholesale agreements with local networks. Nepal has 14 plans against 90+ for European countries, and pricing starts higher at $3.65.
Is a local SIM better value in Nepal?
Possibly, for longer stays. A Nepali SIM bought in Kathmandu is cheap, though it requires passport photos and paperwork. The eSIM's advantage is working the moment you land.
Will it work on the Everest Base Camp trek?
Unreliably. There is service at some teahouses on the main trail and none between. Do not rely on it — trekking agencies carry satellite phones for good reason.
Do Nepal plans include SMS?
These eSIM plans provide mobile data and do not include standard calls or SMS. Keep your regular SIM available for verification codes and use internet messaging apps over data.
Is 5G available?
Not on any of our Nepal plans. 4G/LTE is the standard and works adequately in Kathmandu and Pokhara.
