Travel adapter from Saudi Arabia to Nepal

⚠️

Adapter Required

Yes — coming from Saudi Arabia, you will need a travel adapter for Nepal. Saudi Arabia uses 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.
