5G & coverage in Nepal

4G is strong in Kathmandu and Pokhara and holds along the lower Everest and Annapurna routes; 5G has not launched yet. Above roughly 4,000 m coverage turns patchy, and Nepal Telecom keeps a signal in high and remote areas where Ncell fades.

How to choose an eSIM for Nepal

Start with how much data you need and how long you are staying. For short city trips a small 1–5 GB plan is usually enough; for longer stays or hotspot use, look at larger or unlimited plans. Check that the plan covers Nepal as a local or regional option, compare the price per GB rather than the headline price, and confirm your phone supports eSIM before you buy.
