Nepal is the roof of the world — home to eight of the ten highest mountains on Earth, the Annapurna and Everest trekking circuits, Kathmandu's ancient temple complexes, and the wildlife of Chitwan National Park. Ncell provides 4G coverage in Kathmandu, Pokhara, and main towns, with coverage along popular trekking routes — though high-altitude trails go out of range above certain elevations. Data is essential for the Nepal Department of Immigration TIMS permit system (online registration for trekkers), navigating Kathmandu's narrow lanes, and using Pathao (Nepal's dominant ride-hailing app) in the valley.

Ncell's 4G covers Kathmandu Valley (all three durbar squares: Kathmandu, Patan, Bhaktapur), Pokhara, Chitwan's buffer zone towns, and highway towns. The Lukla airport (gateway to Everest Base Camp) has coverage. The EBC trek corridor has coverage in Namche Bazaar (3,440m), Tengboche Monastery (3,860m), and Dingboche (4,360m). Above Dingboche towards Lobuche and Gorak Shep, coverage becomes very limited.

The Annapurna Circuit has coverage in Besisahar, Chame, and Manang (3,519m). The Thorong La pass (5,416m) has no coverage. Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m) is reachable from Pokhara with coverage in Ghandruk village. Poon Hill (3,210m) at sunrise has basic coverage.

Chitwan National Park's buffer zone towns (Sauraha, Tadi Bazaar) have Ncell coverage. The jungle interior has no signal — elephant safari and jeep safari bookings must be made in advance from Sauraha.

Nepal uses the Nepalese rupee (NPR). The country requires advance TIMS cards and national park permits for all trekking routes.
