What is the best way to call home while in Nepal?
A calling card with international minutes from a major carrier will likely work. You may also consider purchasing a calling card in Nepal for international use when calling home. Otherwise, you may purchase a phone card online at www.phonecardsforsale.com for family and friends to use when calling you in Nepal; this may be the least expensive option. Since you may not know until you arrive at your hotel exactly which hotel you will be staying in, we recommend that you call home from your hotel soon after you arrive. Before you call, get the phone number from your hotel so you can give it to those at home. From the United States, they would need to dial 011 plus the number you are given for the hotel. Kathmandu is approximately 9 or 10 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time.
