How To Get a New SIM Card In Nepal?

If you are wondering how to get a SIM card in Nepal, then there is nothing to worry about; it is a simple and quick process for both tourists and locals. To get one, choose a SIM provider like Ncell, NTC, or Smart Cell, visit an authorized SIM card shop or official counter, fill out the registration form by showing your documents, and activate the SIM. Whether you’re a tourist chasing Everest views or a local just trying to text your mom, the process is quicker than a Kathmandu traffic jam clears (which, admittedly, might take a while). This is the exact process of how you get it.

Most of the SIM providers have booths at Tribhuvan International Airport and in major cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara, making access easy for you. There are staff and helpers who will help you set up, so the whole process will take only a few minutes. Both prepaid and data packages are available, depending on your needs.

Once the SIM is activated, you can use mobile data, make calls, and send texts to whoever you want. Recharge cards are available at many local shops, or you can top up using Nepali digital wallets like eSewa or Khalti. If your SIM acts like a moody Himalayan goat, customer support is available via apps or service centers—just don’t expect them to sing you a lullaby. It’s a good idea to check coverage and package rates before choosing a provider, especially if you are going to rural or trekking areas.

Step-by-Step Method of Getting a SIM Card in Nepal

Step 1: Choose a SIM Provider

Ncell

Ncell is one of Nepal’s private telecom companies and the best SIM card in Nepal, established in 2004 as Spice Nepal Pvt.Ltd and later rebranded to Ncell in 2010 after being taken over by the Swedish company TeliaSonera. Now it is 100% Nepali-owned; however, it is registered in the UK under Spectrlite UK. Ncell offers a large number of services, including data and voice plans, SMS, 2G, 3G, and high-speed 4G LTE internet. 5G is not yet available because of trial conditions.

Ncell provides affordable prepaid and postpaid plans, international roaming, and special tourist SIM cards. It also provides a mobile application for checking balance, recharges, and data management, making it one of the popular choices for both locals and tourists. Warning: on Everest Base Camp trails, Ncell’s signal drops faster than your phone battery in the cold—3G at best, and nothing past Pheriche. You might as well send a carrier pigeon.

Nepal Telecom (NTC)

Nepal Telecom, also known as NTC, is the state-owned telecom company of Nepal and the oldest service provider. It was formally established as a company in 2004 under the Telecommunication Act, but the history goes back to 1913 when the Nepalese government made its first effort in telecommunication. Owned by the Government of Nepal, the NTC SIM card offers nationwide services with very good coverage in rural and remote areas.

Its service includes voice calls, SMS, landline, ADSL, fiber internet (FTTH), 3G, 4G LTE, and WiMAX. 5G services are also not provided by it. NTC services are good and reliable in the mountain and rural regions, so they are one of the best options for tourists and people who are travelling outside the major cities, like going for a trek in Annapurna Base Camp or Everest Base Camp. To be fair enough, A trekker found NTC reliable than others at Annapurna Base Camp but needed Wi-Fi at higher altitudes. 

Smart Cell 

Smart Telecom, also known as Smart Cell, is Nepal’s third-largest telecom operator, established in 2008. It is a private company that got its license from the Nepal Telecommunication Authority in 2013. Smart Cell provides voice calls, SMS, 3G, and 4G LTE services, mainly targeting urban areas and growing towns. Although its coverage is less than that of Ncell and NTC, it is increasing its network slowly. Smart Cell is mainly known for offering budget-friendly data and voice packages, and its 4G services are currently available in over 45 districts of Nepal. Regarding Smart Cell Ban rumours, while there were past issues related to Smart Telecom’s license revocation, the government overturned that decision, and Smart continues to operate.

Step 2: Bring Your Documents

To get a SIM card in Nepal as a foreign tourist, you must bring a valid passport, a real or a copy of your visa page or entry stamp, and one passport-sized photo. These are the main documents required for registration by all major SIM providers like Ncell, NTC, and Smart Cell. If you don’t have a printed photo, then most of the SIM shops can take and print one or two as needed, for you on the spot for around NPR 50-60 per photo. This process is quick and usually takes a few minutes. 

In some cases, you may also be asked for the local contact number of your hotel or accommodation details, especially if you’re getting a tourist SIM. These details will help the SIM providers to verify your stay during your visit. It’s always a good idea to carry photocopies of your passport and visa for a faster process. Without these documents, SIM registration and activation will not be possible, so make sure you have them before visiting the SIM card shop. Pro tip: carry photocopies of your passport and visa, or you’ll be stuck playing “find the copy shop” in Kathmandu’s maze of streets

 Note: Nepali citizens need a citizenship card instead of a passport, and a Mobile Device IMEI Registration (For New Phones)

Step 3: Visit a SIM Card Shop

• Official service centers

To get a Nepal SIM card, you can visit official service centers like the Ncell Center or NTC (Nepal Telecom) office, which are located in major cities like Kathmandu, Pokhara, Biratnagar, and Lalitpur. The Ncell center offers services such as SIM card registration, 4G upgrades, tourist SIMs, mobile internet packages, and customer support. Similarly, the NTC Office (also known as Nepal Telecom counters) provides services like new SIM cards, data and voice packages, ADSL or fiber net help, and roaming service. These centers are open from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM on working days. These centers are authorized, popular, and staffed with trained personnel to help you through every step of the SIM activation process. 

• Authorized mobile shops

Outside official centers, you’ll find authorized telecom dealers in shopping malls, commercial streets, and local phone shops in Kathmandu, Pokhara, and towns across Nepal. These shops are licensed by the Telecommunications Authority to sell and activate SIMs, but prices can vary- some may charge more, and some may charge less. So bring your documents and show them, they will provide you SIM within a minute. 

• Tribhuvan International Airport 

On arrival at Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport, you’ll find SIM card counters for Ncell, Nepal Telecom (NTC), and Smart Cell across the baggage claim and arrivals hall. Ncell operates two booths there, one for physical SIMs and another for e-SIMS. While Ncell offers both regular and tourist SIMs. Smart Cell also operates a store at the airport. They provide standard SIMs (not e-SIMs) at around NPR 99 with starter credit (around NPR 90 plus data and talk time). Airport kiosks generally stay open for international flight arrivals, making it quick and easy for you to get it immediately after landing.

Kailash Mansarovar Yatra

$2,770

5.0(6 reviews)

The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is a sacred journey to Mount Kailash and the sacred Lake Mansarovar located in Tibet, China.It is one of Asia’s holiest pilgrimages to Tibet, the Chinese autonomous region. It is a rare journey where pilgrimage, high‑altitude trekking, and Himalayan landscapes come together in one powerful experience. Mount Kailash (6,638M) is considered the abode of Lord Shiva and the spiritual center of the universe. Likewise, holy Lake Mansarovar is believed to have been created by Lord Brahma and symbolizes purity and divine creation. For Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bon followers, traveling here is a deliberate step toward moksha, self-purification, and profound spiritual rejuvenation. The Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar tour starts in Kathmandu and follows a path that crosses the Nepal-Tibet border at Kyirong (also called Gyirong). Later, the drive to Kailash and Mansarovar Lake continues by road over the vast Tibetan plateau to Lake Mansarovar and the base town of Darchen. The development of black top and asphalt roads and improved infrastructure has made this formerly remote area accessible these days. This means what used to be an extremely severe approach is now a manageable overland pilgrimage, which is generally done in about 15 days. Along the Kailash Mansarovar route, you will see high passes, wide grassy plains, snow-capped Himalayan ranges, and quiet Tibetan villages. You will also get time to acclimatize before the start of the 52KM Kailash Parikrama (Kora) around the mountain. The Kora takes 3 days and involves the climb of Dolma La Pass (5,630M). Crossing it is quite tough, and a good physical condition is necessary. The top of the pass gives you the sight of deep valleys, sacred Rakshas Tal, as well as monasteries that have stood as spiritual sites for centuries. Likewise, every element of the Kailash yatra carries meaning. Devotees take a dip or sprinkle water from Lake Mansarovar on themselves in order to cleanse their past deeds. They perform the Kailash Kora to get rid of old karma, and spend quiet time in monasteries and meditation caves associated with saints like Milarepa. Many people report feeling a strong sense of connection with those they walked alongside, as they shared prayers, stories, and rituals, even though they spoke different languages and had different traditions.

Step 4: Fill Out the Registration Form

Once you provide your documents in the shops or centers, you’ll need to fill out a SIM card registration form. This form generally asks for basic details like your full name, passport number, nationality, local address in Nepal (such as your hotel), and sometimes your contact number or email. At the end of the form, you must place your signature to confirm the information is correct and to agree with the provider’s terms.

If you face any problem or need help, the shopkeeper or staff at the counter will help you in completing the form. In many cases, they’ll even fill it for you; you just need to check the details and sign it. This registration process is required by the Nepalese government for all SIM card users to confirm proper identity verification and prevent misuse. After completing the form-filling process, they will submit it to the telecom provider for activation. The whole process is simple and usually takes less than 10 minutes.The Nepalese government loves this paperwork to keep SIMs out of the hands of mischievous mountain spirits.

Step 5: Activate Your SIM

• First: After purchasing the SIM card, insert it into your phone. Make sure your phone is unlocked (not limited to your country’s SIM card only)
• Second: Restart your device so it can detect the local network
• Third: Within a few minutes, the SIM should automatically connect to the provider’s network, whichever one you purchase, either NTC, Ncell, or Smartcell. Look for the signal bar on your screen.
• Fourth: Some SIMs activate instantly, while others may need manual activation. The shopkeeper usually activates it during the registration process
• Fifth: If activation is not automatic, then you may need to use the SIM provider’s mobile app. Ask the seller or follow the instructions provided with the SIM. It is not a difficult process; it will be completed within a few minutes, only for the SIM, which needs manual activation. 
• Sixth: Still not activated? Then go to your phone’s network settings and make sure mobile data is ON. Set mobile data to 2G/3G/4G (Auto) depending on your phone and location, and try to insert the SIM in another phone to verify it’s working. If still not activated, then you can contact customer support. For Ncell dial *9005# or 9005, for NTC dial 1498, for Smart Cell dial 4242. 

Tip: Once activated, you can start making calls, sending texts, and using mobile data immediately

Types Of SIM Cards In Nepal

These SIMs are very flexible and easy to use. You can recharge it when needed using recharge cards or mobile wallets like eSewa and Kalti. If you are recharging through cards, then you have to use their USSD code PIN. For NTC put *411*<13‑digit PIN>#, for Ncell put *102*<16‑digit PIN>#, and for Smart Cell put *122*<16‑digit PIN>#. 

All of the major providers like Ncell, NTC, and Smart Cell offer prepaid SIMs, and you can choose from daily, weekly, or monthly data and voice packs depending on your needs.

Postpaid SIM cards are usually preferred by long-term residents, business users, and government offices. With postpaid service you’ll get you’ll receive a monthly bill according to your usage. You will also get better call and data rates, higher credit limits, and more network access. SIM providers like Ncell and NTC offer postpaid plans.

• Tourist SIM

Tourist SIMs are specially made for foreign visitors and are available at every SIM center, shops, or at the TIA.

These services can be helpful for remote work, streaming, or staying connected with everyone outside while traveling.

Which One Should You Get?

• Trekkers/Remote Areas → NTC Prepaid (best coverage).
• Long-term expats/residents → Postpaid SIM (unlimited plans). For when you’ve decided Nepal’s momos are worth staying for.
• Data-heavy users → Data SIM or prepaid with large data packs. Because your TikTok addiction doesn’t pause for mountains.

Data Plans for Ncell, NTC, Smart Cell

eSIM

eSIM, or embedded SIM, is a digital SIM that allows users to activate a mobile number without inserting a physical SIM card. In Nepal, eSIMs are provided by two main telecom operators: Ncell and Nepal Telecom (NTC). Nepal Telecom introduced eSIM in September 2022, becoming the first telecom provider in the country who launch this service. Ncell also started offering eSIM service soon for compatible devices. eSIM technology is suited for users of modern smartphones like iPhones (XR and above), Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy S20 series, and newer.

To activate an eSIM, you need to visit the nearest service center of Ncell or NTC with a compatible device and a valid ID. You can activate eSIM by scanning the QR via settings under “Add Cellular Plan”. For Ncell, the cost to convert a physical SIM to an eSIM or to buy a new eSIM is around NPR 100. For NTC, the conversion fee is NPR 50, while buying a new SIM may cost slightly more. The main benefits of using eSIM include the ability to use multiple numbers on a single device, easier switching between networks, and no need to physically handle or replace SIM cards. As of now, Smart Cell does not offer eSIM services.

If you are a tourist and looking to avoid a physical SIM, then international eSIM providers like Airhub (offering 12 GB for $28) and SIM options (5GB for $14.90) also provide data plans that work in Nepal. This can be purchased online and activated instantly via QR code. Although eSIM usability is still in the early stages in Nepal, the government and telecom operators are working to expand its availability and compatibility. The services are only available at official service centers in major cities like Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Biratnagar. As the demand for advanced mobile technology grows, eSIM is expected to become more common in Nepal in the coming years.

Now, go get that SIM and start posting those Himalayan sunsets, just don’t expect your phone to outshine the mountain

Manaslu Circuit Trek

$920

5.0(7 reviews)

The Manaslu Circuit Trek is one of Nepal’s best off-the-beaten-path adventures in the Manaslu region of Nepal. It circles the world’s eighth-highest mountain, Manaslu (8,163M), and covers about 144KM (89 Miles). The trek journey starts at Machha Khola and slowly climbs through farmlands and small villages. As you move higher, you reach mountain valleys like Samagaon and Samdo. The biggest highlight is crossing the Larkya La Pass (5,160M), where you can see amazing views of Manaslu, Himalchuli, and Ngadi Chuli. The trek also offers a local culture experience. Villages such as Samagaon, Namrung, Lho, and Deng show strong Tibetan traditions. You will see monasteries, prayer flags, and mani walls along the way. Depending on the season, you may also witness festivals like Lhosar (Tibetan New Year) or Saga Dawa, which celebrates Buddha’s life. In these villages, people farm millet, herd yaks, and live in ways passed down for centuries. This gives trekkers a close look at a culture that is still very traditional. The Manaslu Circuit trek trail also takes you through different natural landscapes. In the lower region at Jagat and Soti Khola, you will walk through green forests alive with rhododendron, magnolia, and bamboo. As you go higher past Philim, Namrung, and Samdo, the forest changes into oak, maple, and conifers, with waterfalls along the way. Near Samagaon and Larkya La, the land becomes rocky and snowy, with only small plants like moss and lichens. The changing landscape offer the true trekking experience throughout the Manaslu Circuit trek. Likewise, one special thing about the trek to Manaslu Circuit region is that it is a restricted area. Trekkers need special permits, which help protect the environment and keep the trail less crowded. You will need to compulsorily hire a trekking guide. You can find simple teahouses and lodges in main villages, but the trek still feels wild and quiet compared to other popular routes in Nepal. The best time for Manaslu Circuit trek is during the Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to October) seasons.

The Makalu Base Camp Trek is one of Nepal’s most rewarding adventures if you want to avoid the crowded Everest and Annapurna trails and experience a wilder, untouched part of the Himalayas, where the mountains feel raw, and the scenery just keeps surprising you. Nestled in the remote eastern Himalayas, the trail gives you sweeping views of some of the world’s tallest peaks, including Mount Makalu (8,463M, the world’s fifth highest mountain) and distant views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, and Kanchenjunga from certain points.

You start in the lower hills near Num, and the trail climbs steadily through terraced fields and small villages where Rai, Gurung, and Sherpa communities live. As you go deeper into Makalu Barun National Park, the Makalu Base Camp trek path winds through thick rhododendron and bamboo forests, deep river gorges, and wide yak pastures. You may also see incredible wildlife like red pandas, musk deer, Himalayan tahr, and in the most remote parts, maybe even the elusive snow leopard. Villages and teahouses are few and far between, so you really feel the isolation. One of the trek’s defining features is the mix of altitude and history. You will cross several high passes above 4,000M, including the famous Shipton La, named after the legendary explorer Eric Shipton, whose expeditions opened up this part of the Himalayas for modern trekkers. Makalu Base Camp Trek difficulty is moderate to challenging. You’ll face long climbs, rocky trails, and thin air that makes every step feel different.

4 UNESCO Heritage Site Day Tour in Kathmandu

$32

Kathmandu, the heart of Nepal, is home to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Each of them reflects the history, art, and culture of the city. A one-day tour covering the top four sites: Swayambhunath Stupa, Kathmandu Durbar Square, Pashupatinath Temple, and Boudhanath Stupa tells its own story from ancient kings to sacred rituals. A single full day is all you need to feel the magic and history of Kathmandu. Starting from Swayambhunath, your day tour begins with over 2,000 years of history. Legend says the Kathmandu Valley was once a lake, and the hill of Swayambhunath rose at its center. Later, the stupa was renovated and expanded by King Manadeva in the 5th century to promote Buddhism. As you climb its 365 steps, you’ll witness the Buddhist traditions that made this place special for centuries. From there, your tour leads to Kathmandu Durbar Square, where the history of the Malla Kings is still alive. Between the 12th and 18th centuries, rulers like King Pratap Malla built palaces, temples, and courtyards with detailed carvings to show both power and faith. This place will really amaze you. After that, you’ll visit Pashupatinath Temple and Boudhanath Stupa. Pashupatinath, established in the 5th century and rebuilt in the 17th century by King Bhupatendra Malla, honors Lors Shiva and hosts daily rituals on the Bagmati River. Boudhanath, which was built in the 5th to 6th century CE to support Tibetan Buddhism, is one of the largest stupas in the world. These heritage sites will surprise you with their history and culture. To explore these four incredible sites, go through the detailed itinerary below and plan your visit to Kathmandu with us.
