Travel adapter from Saint Kitts and Nevis to Nepal

Compare the plug shapes, voltage and frequency in Saint Kitts and Nevis and Nepal, and find out which adapter you need before you travel.

Adapter required

Yes — coming from Saint Kitts and Nevis, you will need a travel adapter for Nepal. Saint Kitts and Nevis uses Type A/Type B/Type G plugs, and Nepal uses Type C/Type D/Type M, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket. The mains frequency is also different (60 Hz vs 50 Hz). This rarely matters for electronics but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.

Frequency differs (60 Hz vs 50 Hz). Rarely an issue for most electronics, but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.
