Nepal runs Type C, D and M — your plug fits none of them

Universal travel adapter with USB-C (Type C/D)

230 V, 50 Hz; Type C/D/M sockets

A universal adapter with its own USB-C ports means one wall socket charges three things, which matters when a lodge has exactly one and six guests — the cheap ones have no fuse, so do not run a laptop through it.

Covers all three Nepali socket types

Built-in USB ports turn one socket into several

Works for the India leg too

Cheap models are unfused and genuinely unsafe under load

Bulky in a wall socket that is already loose

Voltage is 230 V — check your device actually accepts it

Not for you if: Nothing. Everyone arriving from the UK, US, EU or Australia needs one.
