eSIM for Nepal

Kathmandu is well connected; the mountains above it are not, and it's worth knowing which is which before you go. A Roameo eSIM covers the valley, the road network and the trailhead towns — install before you fly into Tribhuvan and land online.

Travelling to Nepal

Roameo's Nepal eSIM connects to the national 4G networks, which serve Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan, Lumbini and Bhaktapur well and follow the Prithvi Highway and the main road corridors. Trekking is the honest part of this page: some Khumbu and Annapurna villages get signal, but it is intermittent, weather-dependent and effectively absent at altitude and on the high passes. Trekkers overwhelmingly rely on teahouse Wi-Fi and satellite messengers rather than mobile data — plan the route that way and treat any bars you get as a bonus. Nepal runs at GMT+5:45, a 45-minute offset shared with nowhere else, so double-check connection times. Monsoon-season flight cancellations to Lukla are common and worth a buffer day. Data-only, tethering supported.

Frequently asked

Don't count on it. Some Khumbu villages get intermittent signal, but it is unreliable and disappears at altitude. Teahouse Wi-Fi and a satellite messenger are the realistic options.
Yes — Pokhara, Chitwan and the road corridors between them have solid 4G.
Nepal runs at GMT+5:45, a 45-minute offset unique to the country. Your phone sets it automatically once the eSIM connects.
Yes. The eSIM carries data only, so your home SIM stays active for calls and texts.
