The order we use, and why
- 01NameWho signs for it.
- 02Tole and landmarkMost streets have no number, so riders navigate by what they can see.
- 03Municipality-ward, districtWritten like Lalitpur-3: the ward is how local offices sort parcels.
- 04Province, NepalSeven provinces since 2015. Older zone names are no longer used.
- 05MobileRiders call before they arrive. A wrong number is one of the most common reasons a delivery fails.
Province and district names follow Nepal's 2015 federal structure. Municipality and ward stay free text, so check the spelling the recipient uses.
Frequently asked questions
How do you write an address in Nepal for a courier?
Recipient name, then tole or street with a landmark, then municipality and ward written together like Lalitpur-3, then district, then province and Nepal, then a mobile number. Most streets have no house number, so the landmark and phone do the work.
What are the seven provinces of Nepal?
1. Koshi, 2. Madhesh, 3. Bagmati, 4. Gandaki, 5. Lumbini, 6. Karnali, 7. Sudurpashchim. Together they hold 77 districts.
Which spelling of the district should I use?
Use the official one, but the formatter accepts common alternatives: Kavre becomes Kavrepalanchok, Kabhrepalanchok becomes Kavrepalanchok, Sindhupalchowk becomes Sindhupalchok.
What phone number format do Nepali couriers need?
A 10-digit mobile starting 96, 97 or 98. From abroad, add +977 in front. Landlines are accepted but riders usually call mobiles.
Why are municipality and ward typed in, not picked from a list?
Nepal has 753 local units and spellings vary. Rather than ship an incomplete list, we let you type the name the recipient uses and keep the province and district checked.
