Nepal eSIM questions
How much does the Nepal eSIM cost?
Data plans start at $6.95 for 1GB over 7 days, and 10GB for 30 days is $31.95. Prices are in AUD, with no roaming charges on top.

Which networks does the Nepal eSIM use?
It uses Ncell and NT Mobile, and joins whichever has the best signal where you are. It runs on 4G.
Does it work on the Everest Base Camp trek?
In part. Lukla, Namche Bazaar and many villages have signal, but it gets patchy higher up. Many lodges sell Wi-Fi cards for the gaps.
Does it work on the Annapurna Circuit?
In most villages on the lower and middle sections, Manang included. Around Thorong La pass there's none.
Does it work in Pokhara and Chitwan?
Yes. Kathmandu, Pokhara and the Chitwan park villages all have good 4G.
Can I use it in India?
No, it's Nepal only. India has its own eSIM.
When does my Nepal plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Nepal. Install it on Wi-Fi a day or two before you fly: the days don't start counting until you land.
Can I use the Nepal eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Every Nepal plan can share its data with a laptop, a tablet or a travel partner's phone. Anything you share comes off the same plan.
Does the Nepal eSIM include calls and texts?
No, it's data only, with no local number. Call and text over WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime. Your Australian number stays on your phone, so texts like bank codes still arrive.
