Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest eSIM for Nepal?
The cheapest Nepal eSIM on MobiMatter is a plan for Nepal alone: $3.99 for 1 GB, valid for 5 days. Prices come live from 4 vetted providers and change often; the price on this page is the current one.
Is it worth getting an eSIM for Nepal?
For most travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. Nepal plans start at $3.99 for 1 GB, and the longest lasts 365 days, which suits long stays and repeat visits. If your home plan already covers Nepal at no extra cost, you may not need one.
Which networks do Nepal eSIMs use?
Every Nepal eSIM on MobiMatter connects to Ncell, so your coverage is that network's coverage. If you are heading somewhere remote, check its coverage map before you buy.
Which eSIM is best for Nepal?
For Nepal alone, our top plan right now is 20 GB for 30 days at $35.99 from TSimTech. If Nepal is one stop of several, the top multi-country plan is 20 GB for 365 days at $67.49 from Sparks, covering 133 countries.
How much data do I need for a week in Nepal?
It depends on how you use your phone. Light use (maps, messaging, browsing) takes about 0.5–1 GB a day; scrolling a lot of social video can take 2–3 GB or more. Typical use per hour:
- Instagram Reels, TikTok: 0.3–1 GB
- YouTube, Netflix at standard quality: 0.5–1 GB
- Video calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime): 0.5–1 GB
- Voice calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime Audio): 50–70 MB
- Maps and navigation: 2–6 MB
- Messaging and browsing: 50–150 MB
The cheapest Nepal plan with at least 5 GB for a week or longer is 5 GB for 15 days at $10.99.
Do Nepal eSIMs support 5G and hotspot?
Nepal plans currently run on 4G/LTE. Hotspot (tethering) works on every plan, so you can share your data with other devices.
Does a Nepal eSIM come with a phone number?
Most travel eSIMs, including most Nepal plans, are data-only and have no local number. You keep your usual number on your main SIM for calls, texts and WhatsApp. Plans that include a number or minutes say so on the plan page.
Will my phone work with a Nepal eSIM?
Yes, if it supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier. To check, dial *#06#: if an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM. Most iPhones from the XS/XR on, Galaxy S20 and later and Pixel 3 and later do, except most models sold in mainland China and some sold in Hong Kong and Macao.
Can I keep my own SIM and WhatsApp while using a Nepal eSIM?
Yes. Your eSIM and your main SIM can be active at the same time. Use the eSIM for mobile data with data roaming on for that line, and turn data roaming off on your home SIM to avoid charges. WhatsApp keeps working on your usual number.

I bought two esims for two different countries because mobimatter has affordable prices. I had an issue connecting the second esim. The helpdesk responded fast. It turns out I was using the first eSIM instead of the second. Thanks for good data in both countries and for responding fast!

MobiMatters came highly recommended in family-oriented travel groups on social networks, when I was researching on travel eSIMs for Iceland. The first package I started with was a US + Europe - it was easy to activate before leaving home (and verifying), and then continue on landing in Reykjavik. Unthinkable speeds (given we are used to Verizon and TMobile in the US) - over 400 Mbps on the Fast app! Unlimited tethering options allowed me to use across my MacBook and phone, as well as share across the family with the kids on iPads and phones. Navigation on Google and Waze was aa breeze with the constant high speed data connectivity. Our plans did not support phones (we knew this) but with WhatsApp and FaceTime allowing audio and video calls we never felt the need for basic phone service. Customer service on email was responsive and helpful when I wanted to understand how top-ups work. Highly recommend MobiMatters - I’m on my third top-up as we speak!

I bought the eSIM for a holiday in Tibet. Everything was great; with the integrated VPN I was able to access all the sites that are normally blocked in China (Google, WhatsApp, etc.).

The team was responsive, helpful, and guided me through the issue until everything was working perfectly. I have purchased several eSIMs through MobiMatter before, and my experience has always been excellent. Very satisfied with both the service and the reliability of the product. Highly recommended!
