Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Nepal
There are about 150 travel eSIM brands available for use in Nepal, with roughly 2, 300 prepaid data plans offered. The sizable selection of plans provides a wide variety of options, making it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.
Yesim and Roamify provide unlimited data eSIM plans for travelers visiting Nepal. Both offer validity periods from one to thirty days, and each plan allows tethering; however, data speeds may be throttled after a certain usage volume. Prices for these unlimited options range from approximately nine dollars to one hundred and forty dollars, depending on the chosen validity duration and additional services. When selecting a plan, consider your expected data usage—such as streaming, navigation, and social media—and choose a duration that comfortably covers those needs.
In Nepal, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are:
Nepal Telecom (NTC): A government-owned operator offering a comprehensive range of services, including mobile voice and data, with extensive nationwide coverage.
Ncell: A subsidiary of Axiata Group Berhad, providing mobile voice and data services with significant market presence and widespread network coverage.
While there are other operators like Smart Cell, United Telecom Limited (UTL), Nepal Satellite Telecom, and CG Telecom, their operations have been limited or discontinued due to various challenges.
The concept of Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) is still emerging in Nepal, with limited presence. MVNOs offer mobile services by leasing access from major carriers. However, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of primary MNOs rather than MVNOs.
Yes, travel eSIMs that include a phone number and SMS service are available for Nepal. Several providers such as GlobaleSIM, Earth Esim, EtravelSIM, Orange Travel, and Roamify offer plans that range from a few gigabytes to 15 GB, with prices starting around $6 for the smallest GlobaleSIM offer and about $24–$35 for the 15 GB options from the other operators.
All of these plans provide a phone number that can receive calls and SMS. GlobaleSIM’s numbers use the US dialing code +1 and support inbound SMS only, while Earth Esim, EtravelSIM, Orange Travel, and Roamify use the French dialing code +33 and support both inbound and outbound SMS. In contrast, Airhub Nepal offers a local Nepali number (+977) with full voice call functionality but does not include SMS. Each operator’s plan specifies the validity period and any additional features such as tethering or 5G support.
