Calling tips

Schedule calls in advance if possible, especially for business. Nepal has good mobile coverage in urban and semi-urban areas.
Use Wi-Fi whenever available to ensure stable audio. Mobile data can introduce latency or dropouts.
Record important call details (names, dates, key points) to avoid misunderstandings across the border.
For business calls, confirm the best number beforehand. Some companies use both landline and mobile.
During peak seasons (holidays, festivals), networks can be congested. Allow extra time and try off-peak hours.

Business etiquette

Introduce yourself fully, even if you've corresponded before. Cross-border calls can feel more formal.
Respect working hours: 9 AM–6 PM is typical in Nepal. Government offices may have different schedules.
Use clear, measured speech to minimize miscommunication due to accent or connection lag.
Confirm details in writing (email or message) after the call to ensure mutual understanding.
For sensitive negotiations, consider scheduling a video call alongside voice calling for added context.
