How to call emergency services in Nepal
Dial 100 for police, 101 for fire, 102 for ambulance from any phone. In mountain and remote areas, police and emergency services have very limited reach — trekkers should carry satellite communicators (Garmin inReach) and register their itinerary with TIMS/permit offices. Most emergency calls can be made even without mobile credit.
