Is there an eSIM available for Nepal?
Yes. You can buy a Nepal eSIM from Ahlano online, in a few minutes, from home or after you arrive. The eSIM is a digital plan that lives on your phone, so there is no plastic card to collect and no shop to find on your first day. If the idea is new to you, read how an eSIM works before you buy.
You need an eSIM-compatible phone that is unlocked. Most recent iPhone and Android models qualify, and you can check yours on our list of phones that support eSIM.
Which Nepal eSIM plan fits your trip?
Start with two questions: how long you will stay, and how much you will use your phone. Plans run from 1 to 30 days, with prices from USD 3.88.
- A short city stay: a small plan covers maps, messages and ride bookings for a few days in town.
- A week or two of touring: a mid-sized plan leaves room for photos, video calls home and travel apps.
- A long trek or a month in the country: choose the longest validity so your plan does not end before your trip does.
If you are unsure, pick a little more data than you think you need. You can check the data left at any time and top up if you run low.
Nepal eSIM with unlimited data
An unlimited plan is on sale for Nepal. It suits you if you stream, share a lot of photos or work online during your stay and would rather not watch a data counter. Compare it with the fixed plans on this page and pick the one that matches your days.
How to get your eSIM for Nepal online
- Choose your plan on this page and pay by card or Apple Pay.
- Open the QR code or the one-tap install link we send you.
- Add the eSIM in your phone settings, ideally while you still have Wi-Fi at home.

The store works in Arabic and English, so you can buy in the language you prefer.
What are the disadvantages of using an eSIM?
The main limit is the phone itself. Older models and phones locked to one network cannot use an eSIM, so check yours first. It also helps to install the eSIM before you travel, because you need a connection to download it. Once it is set up, you keep your usual SIM in the phone and simply choose which line uses data.
