Saily eSIM Plans for Nepal
What you get with Saily in Nepal
Which Saily plan should you pick?
For a short city break of 3–5 days, the cheapest plan at £1.00 will cover Maps, WhatsApp, and casual browsing. If you're spending one to two weeks travelling around Nepal, step up to a mid-tier plan — usually the strongest value option on a per-GB basis in Saily's Nepal lineup.
If you plan to work remotely, stream video daily, or use your phone as a hotspot for a laptop, lean towards a larger bundle.
One thing to note: Saily Nepal plans are data-only. You won't get a local number, but your existing SIM handles calls and texts as normal. iMessage, WhatsApp, and FaceTime all work over data.

Saily eSIM for Nepal 2026 — what you need to know
Saily is a well-regarded eSIM provider with solid Nepal coverage. Plans range from short-break options to longer-stay packages, making Saily a flexible choice whether you're spending a long weekend or travelling for a month.
Nepal has two main operators: Nepal Telecom (NTC, the state-owned incumbent) and Ncell (Axiata). NTC has the deeper rural reach and is the one trekkers should be on, the Ncell signal drops out faster as you gain altitude. 4G is now available in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Bhaktapur, Chitwan and along most of the main highways. The Annapurna and Everest base camp trails have intermittent signal, NTC reaches further up than Ncell, and there's signal at Namche Bazaar, Tengboche and even patches near Gorak Shep on a clear day. The Manaslu and Upper Mustang regions are much weaker. 5G is not yet commercially launched.
Is Saily good in Nepal?
In our testing, Saily connected reliably across major cities and travel routes in Nepal. Plug is type C/D/M (230V, sockets vary by lodge) and the currency is the Nepali rupee. Cash is essential outside Kathmandu and Pokhara, ATMs in the trekking villages run dry constantly, bring more than you think you need.
