Nepal has two dominant operators: Nepal Telecom (NTC, Namaste) and Ncell. In Kathmandu, Pokhara and the lower-lying tourist areas, coverage is good with fast 4G. Ncell is often the fastest in cities, while NTC usually reaches further in mountainous regions and remote spots. Networks: Nepal Telecom, Ncell.
For cities and low treks, 5 to 10 GB is more than enough. In the mountains, data is mainly handy at teahouses, so do not count on a constant connection along the way.
In trekking areas such as Everest and Annapurna, coverage is very limited and above around 4,500 metres the signal often drops out completely.
