Travel Plug

[Escher]

I've never plugged anything in Nepal so I have no idea what the adaptor should like. I've heard it should be European two pin but the pins should be round?

I think I used this adaptor in Switzerland and also in Peru, will it work in Nepal? EDIT: Although from the research I have just done this one is completely wrong! Anyone bought an adaptor in Kathmandu?

Escher,

These are the plugs/sockets that would work in Nepal

You can try to get a round pin adapter to the multi-plug you already have - easily available at electrical shops in Kathmandu for a few Rupees.

I used one of these in both KTM and Namche with no problems.

Some of the power points in Thamel hotels look like you could plug just about anything into them, holes all over the place.

If you want to get really confused check wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_AC_power_plugs_and_sockets)

I found that the lodges on the EBC trek used the two prong plug shown by Spaceman regardless of their power source (solar or hydro). However, in our Ktm hotels the only place I found the two plug outlet was in the bathroom and the outlets were marked "for shavers only." Our chargers worked in these outlets and I don't know the reason they were marked that way.

.. in our Ktm hotels the only place I found the two plug outlet was in the bathroom and the outlets were marked "for shavers only." Our chargers worked in these outlets and I don't know the reason they were marked that way.
In Europe we have 240 V in wall outlets, but it is not allowed to have more
than 120 V in bathrooms. That is why they are marked "shavers". Quite a
few electronic devices, that will convert the current to 12 V or whatever, will
work just as well with 100 V as 240.
