How to Dial Nepal from the USA, Step by Step
Just a few steps put you through to any landline or mobile number in Nepal.
USA Exit Code
Start with 011. This signals to your carrier that the call is heading overseas.
(On mobile or VoIP, press and hold '0' for '+')
Country Code (+977)
Dial 977. This sends your call straight to Nepal.
Number (Drop the '0')
Add the area code and the phone number.

Say a Kathmandu local number reads 01 422 1234. Calling from the USA, the first '0' has to go.
