eSIM Travel Tips for Nepal

Set up your eSIM before leaving New Zealand
Buy your HelloRoam plan for Nepal at home, scan the QR code in your phone settings, and activate data when you land. No airport SIM card counters. No setup hassle after a long-haul flight to Kathmandu.
Your NZ number stays reachable on dual SIM
Keep your Spark, Vodafone NZ, or One NZ SIM active for calls and texts while using HelloRoam for data. Whānau and colleagues back in NZ can reach you on your regular number. Use HelloRoam as your default data line in Nepal.
Offline maps are a must for long-haul trips
NZ travellers often make the most of long-haul flights by planning side trips. Download Google Maps or Maps.me offline for Kathmandu and surrounding areas before leaving New Zealand. Coverage in Nepal is generally good in cities but variable in remote areas.
Currency and card tips from NZ
NZ debit cards work at most ATMs and card terminals in Kathmandu. Notify your NZ bank of your travel dates. Carry some local currency for markets, taxis, and smaller shops. The HelloRoam eSIM keeps currency converters and banking apps running throughout your Nepal trip.
Time zone planning for NZ departures
New Zealand's long flight times mean planning ahead is important. Buy and install your HelloRoam eSIM at home before your overnight Air New Zealand or connecting flight. Arrive in Kathmandu already connected rather than scrambling for Wi-Fi on arrival.
