How numbers in Nepal are built
A number in Nepal is the country code +977 followed by a national number of 8 or 10 digits. The trunk prefix, where there is one, is dropped after the code.
Written locally as 984-1234567, an example mobile number in Nepal is dialed as +977 984 1234567 from abroad.
Leave out the leading 0 of a landline number; mobile numbers like this one have none.
Why a call to Nepal fails to connect
- Keeping the leading 0: after +977 it is one digit too many, and the network rejects the call.
- Leaving out 00 (or +): without it your carrier reads 977 as the start of a number in the United Arab Emirates, not as a country code.
- A wrong number of digits: a number in Nepal has 8 or 10 digits after +977.
Best time to call
Nepal is 1.75 h ahead of the United Arab Emirates. When it is 12:00 in the United Arab Emirates, it is 13:45 in Nepal.
That gap stays the same all year, because neither country changes its clocks relative to the other.
The United Arab Emirates does not change its clocks for daylight saving, so the offset stays UTC+4 all year.
Nepal does not change its clocks for daylight saving, so the offset stays UTC+5:45 all year.
The weekend in Nepal is Saturday and Sunday.
