Nepal Travel Adapter Kit | Going In Style

Nepal is located in Southern Asia bordering countries China and India.  If traveling to surrounding countries, some adapter plugs are interchangeable, however make sure you have the proper adapter plug for every country you will be visiting.

These adaptor plugs enable your appliance's plug configuration to fit into Australia electrical power outlets. Adapter plugs allow electrical connections up to 240 volts. An adapter plug does NOT change the current or voltage (this requires a converter) unless your appliance is dual voltage. Grounded adapter plugs maintain the ground from the electrical outlet to your appliance.

Many of our customers find it handy to have multiple adaptors while traveling - either to run several appliances simultaneously or simply as a backup.

Grounded Adapter Plugs

If you are traveling with a grounded United States dual/multi-voltage appliance or using a grounded Transformer you will need to use a grounded adaptor plug. A grounded United States plug has two flat blades and one round pin.

Non-Grounded Adapter Plugs

Going In Style offers non-grounded adapter plugs for use with your voltage converter, transformer, or dual/multi voltage appliance. A non-grounded United States plug has two flat blades.

Cycles: 50 Hz vs. 60 Hz.

Nepal operates on 220 volt electricity and is generated at 50Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. United States 110-120 volt electricity is generated at 60Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. This difference in cycles may cause the motor in your 60Hz United States appliance to operate slightly slower when used on 50Hz foreign electricity. Most modern electronic equipment including battery chargers, Lenovo, HP, Asus, Toshiba computers, iPods, etc., will not be affected by the difference in cycle.

Computers and Apple Products

If you are traveling overseas with a Toshiba, HP, Lenovo, Asus, laptop or Apple device such as an iPad, chances are you won’t need a voltage converter. Most laptops are multi-voltage and will operate on voltages ranging from 100 to 240 volts. However, computers do need to make safe connections to foreign power systems and a surge protector is recommended and you will still need an adapter to use your plug.

Converter- Changing Current Voltage

Going in Style adapters allow electrical connections up to 240 volts. Adapter plugs DO NOT convert voltage and only change the configuration of the pins. When voltage conversion is needed, use an electricity converter. An electricity converter changes the voltage input into your appliance. The United States electrical appliances operate on a lower current of 110-120 volts AC (Alternating Current). Most of the world operates on 220-240 volts AC. Therefore converter units enable your electronic and non-electronic appliances to run on foreign electricity (220-240 volts) to match the voltage requirements of your 110-120 volt device. Failure to run your appliance with a converter could damage your appliance.

About Nepal

Geography

Nepal is located in Southern Asia, between China and India and its area is slightly larger than Arkansas. Its climate varies from cool summers and severe winters in north to subtropical summers and mild winters in south. The terrain is tarai or flat river plain of the Ganges in south, central hill region, rugged Himalayas in north. Nepal contains eight of world's 10 highest peaks, including Mount Everest and Kanchenjung.

Currency

Currency in Nepal is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR). Credit cards are widely accepted, except for in mountain terrain. People traveling to the mountain areas should bring cash with them. Foreign currency and travelers cheques can be exchanged at banks throughout Nepal.

Staying Connected

Nepal has a poor telephone and telegraph service; fair radiotelephone communication service and mobile-cellular telephone network. Mobile-cellular telephone subscribership base is increasing with roughly 90% of the population living in areas covered by mobile carriers When travelling to Nepal you will want to take an international or unlocked cell phone with a prepaid Nepal SIM card. You can also contact your mobile service provider to set up an international calling plan. You will need an adapter to charge your phone. Most cell phone battery rechargers should be multi-voltage, therefore will not require a converter. If the charger says 100-240 volts, 50-60 cycles then your charger in multi-voltage.

Nepal has 41,532 internet hosts and over 577,800 internet users. Internet access is available at hotels and internet cafes. When traveling with your laptop or iPad you will need an adapter to charge your device.
