Nepal eSIM for Kathmandu, Pokhara and lowland stays
Keep Kathmandu arrival details, Pokhara bookings and family updates together with a Nepal data-only eSIM. Mobile reception in a city should not be assumed to extend into mountain valleys, trekking routes or protected forest areas.
Nepal's travel geography changes sharply between the Kathmandu Valley, Pokhara and the southern lowlands around Chitwan. Road transfers can be long and a booked domestic flight is a separate stage from your international arrival. Mobile data is useful for a revised pickup or a message to the next host, but it is not a dependable way to navigate or request help in remote mountains. Prepare each stage while you still have a connection and settle any trek's communications with the organiser independently.
Refund policy
We always refund the full amount you paid when you request it, whether your eSIM is unused, partly used or fully used. There is no time limit for requesting a refund.
No first-use deadline

How eSIM works in Nepal
Check eSIM compatibility and that the handset is unlocked, then install over Wi-Fi before departure. Tribhuvan International Airport serves Kathmandu; save the accommodation's exact street or landmark and collection instructions, particularly for an address inside a narrow lane. In Nepal, switch on the profile, assign it to mobile data and follow its data-roaming settings. Installing the profile does not start the validity period; it starts when the eSIM first connects to a supported network in Nepal. Keep domestic tickets and transfer contacts downloaded before leaving the valley.

Size it to your trip
Pick the profile closest to your trip. The estimate assumes normal use — maps, messaging, photos, a short call home.
As a rule of thumb, a 3–4 day city break runs on about 1–3 GB, a one-week trip on 3–5 GB, a two-week multi-country tour on 8–12 GB, and working on the road takes about 1 GB a day, so 15 GB or more for two weeks.

In total, a 1 GB data allowance covers roughly 330 shared photos, 17 hours of social media and browsing, 2.9 hours of video calls, 13 hours of music streaming, or about 200 hours of maps and navigation. Messaging apps barely use data.

Important cities in Nepal
Kathmandu · City guide
Kathmandu
Kathmandu's accommodation and office addresses often need a nearby landmark or a precise lane entrance. Save the host's directions before landing rather than relying on a citywide map search. Use available data for changes to the next day's transport, while retaining tickets and meeting instructions offline.
Kathmandu eSIM — set up before you flyLalitpur · City guide
Lalitpur
Lalitpur, also known as Patan, is a distinct city in the valley, with its own residential and heritage streets. A meeting near Patan Durbar Square and a Kathmandu hotel are separate destinations. Keep the agreed entrance and the contact receiving you, especially when a vehicle cannot reach the final doorway.
Lalitpur eSIM — set up before you flyPokhara · City guide
Pokhara
Pokhara is a separate city west of Kathmandu, often used for overnight stays before or after a mountain journey. A Lakeside address, airport pickup and trekking organiser's office may all be different places. Download the next stage here, and do not use reception in town to judge conditions higher on a route.
Pokhara eSIM — set up before you flyChitwan area · City guide
Chitwan area
Sauraha is a common accommodation base near Chitwan National Park, away from the Kathmandu Valley. Save the lodge transfer and the organiser's meeting point as separate details. Forest activities need local arrangements; a mobile connection at the property does not establish reception inside the park.
Chitwan area eSIM — set up before you flyWhy Horizon
Budget for messages between the main stops
Check whether the available allowance covers the practical tasks between Kathmandu, Pokhara and any lowland stay: transport changes, host messages and occasional map lookups. Horizon includes free personal hotspot sharing on a compatible device, with the phone and anything connected sharing the same fixed data. Horizon fixed-data plans have no throttling. Save large downloads for Wi-Fi and check that validity includes the return stage. Mountain communications and emergency arrangements should be decided with the trek organiser, without assuming that buying more mobile data creates reception.

Frequently asked questions
Can I depend on this eSIM while trekking in Nepal?
No. Mountain terrain and distance from settlements can leave routes without usable reception. Download the necessary information and establish communications with the organiser before setting out. A plan's destination listing does not prove service on a trek.
Is Patan another name for Kathmandu?
Patan is commonly used for Lalitpur, a separate city within the Kathmandu Valley. Save the exact meeting address rather than assuming a Kathmandu pickup pin will identify it. Your host's entrance instructions are useful for the final approach.
What helps with a Kathmandu airport pickup?
Store the accommodation name, a nearby landmark and the person meeting you before the flight. Agree where you will find the driver even if the phone has no data connection after landing at Tribhuvan International Airport.
Should I download tickets before travelling to Pokhara?
Yes. Keep the actual flight or road-transfer confirmation and the arrival pickup offline. Check the departure details with the operator close to travel, and allow for an itinerary change without assuming data will be available throughout the journey.
Does a Nepal plan include India or China?
No. They are separate destinations for mobile-data purposes. An onward itinerary needs the next country's coverage and entry arrangements checked independently; proximity to a border does not add that country to a Nepal offer.
Can I use data inside Chitwan National Park?
Reception varies by location and should not be assumed inside forest areas. Follow the park and organiser's instructions, and keep the day's meeting and return details available offline before leaving the accommodation.
Does this give me a Nepalese number for drivers or guides?
The eSIM is data-only, without ordinary calls, SMS or a local number. Agree a suitable contact method with the driver or guide before departure, including a physical meeting point that works if online messaging is unavailable.
Will Horizon slow down my data?
No. Horizon fixed-data plans have no throttling. There is no daily limit that slows you down, so you can use your whole plan in one day if you need to. Your speed depends on the local network, your signal and how busy the network is. When your data allowance is used up, the plan stops rather than slowing down.
Can I get a refund if I already used some data?
Yes. We always refund the full amount you paid when you request it, whether your eSIM is unused, partly used or fully used. There is no time limit for requesting a refund.
