Number anatomy
Format follows ITU-T Recommendation E.164 the international public telecommunication numbering plan.
Press + on a mobile (hold the 0 key), or dial 00 from most countries / 011 from North America.
Dial +977. This identifies Nepal on the global telephone network.
Type the first part of the local number. Drop the leading 0 if there is one.
The remaining digits route the call to the specific line in Kathmandu or elsewhere.
To call Nepal on WhatsApp, save the number with +977 and no exit prefix — WhatsApp dials from your contacts, not a dial pad. Voice and video calls are free over data.

Kathmandu (Nepal) routes benefit from active noise cancellation — local background noise at the Kathmandu end is less disruptive when your mic is already clean.
Kathmandu is ~8,071 km away — latency runs 280–310ms. Use wired ethernet to eliminate Wi-Fi jitter on this long-haul path.
Schedule Nepal calls during Kathmandu business hours — 09:00–17:00 Asia/Kathmandu — your contact will be at their desk in a quiet space rather than taking the call on the move.
