FAQs

Why do I remove the leading 0 when calling Nepal? ▾

In many countries, a leading 0 is used as a domestic trunk prefix. When dialing internationally (after +977), you usually omit that 0 so the number matches the international format.

Should I dial 00/011 or use the + sign? ▾

On mobile phones, +977 is often easiest. On landlines, you may need your country’s exit code (like 011 or 00). If one fails, try the other.

What is Nepal’s time zone? ▾

Nepal uses Nepal Time (NPT), which is UTC+5:45.
