Buy a Nepal SIM at Kathmandu airport with your original passport and a passport photo. Ncell and Nepal Telecom (NTC) both work well in cities, and a SIM costs about NPR 100–150. On treks, mobile data fades at higher altitude, so carry offline maps and plan for paid lodge WiFi or Everest Link cards.
