Calling Nepal from Malaysia: what to know

Nepal answers on the country code +977, with the capital in Kathmandu and most business concentrated around Kathmandu and Pokhara. The working language for business is Nepali, and local offices generally keep hours of 10:00 to 17:00 Sunday Friday; Saturday is the weekend.

From Malaysia the outbound access code is 00, so a manual dial reads 00 then +977 then the local number. StartACall removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between Malaysia and Nepal.

Most mobiles in Nepal sit on operators such as Nepal Telecom (NTC), Ncell (Axiata). Nepal uses the +5:45 time zone, one of only a handful of countries on a 45-minute offset.

Nepal runs on UTC plus 5:45, and it does not observe daylight saving, so the time difference stays constant through the year.
