eSIM for Nepal — Instant 4G/5G Data Plans

Nepal's mobile network is served by several operators including Ncell, Nepal Telecom, and Smart Telecom. 4G LTE coverage is available in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan, and main urban centres, with 3G extending to most trekking gateway towns including Lukla, Namche Bazaar, and Pokhara lakeside. The Everest Base Camp trail has coverage in Namche Bazaar and some teahouse stops, though signal becomes very limited above Dingboche and at higher elevations. The Annapurna Circuit has coverage in Pokhara and main lower-altitude towns, with signal weakening on higher passes including Thorong La. Remote regions including Dolpo, Upper Mustang, and the far west have extremely limited connectivity. MobiSIM connects through supported local networks to deliver reliable data in Nepal's main cities and trekking gateway towns.

Activate your MobiSIM eSIM before landing at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu so you have data ready from arrival. Download offline maps for Kathmandu, Pokhara, and all trekking routes you plan to follow before departing each gateway town, as high-altitude areas have very limited signal. Keep your home SIM active for calls while MobiSIM provides your data connection in covered areas. Kathmandu and Pokhara have good urban connectivity where trekking permit apps, accommodation platforms, and navigation tools work reliably. If you are trekking to Everest Base Camp, the Annapurna Circuit, or any remote Himalayan region, treat high-altitude sections as offline and save all teahouse contacts, permit information, emergency numbers, and offline navigation before departing Lukla, Jomsom, or the last connected town on your route.
