Who to call, and where to turn

Everything for an emergency in one place: numbers, what to say, hospitals across all seven provinces, embassies and official agencies. Save the numbers on every phone in your home.

Primary emergency numbers

Tap a number to call on mobile. All are toll-free, 24/7, nationwide.

When you call, say it in this order

  1. WHERE you are — district, tole or landmark, building and floor. Location first, so help can start even if the call drops.
  2. WHAT happened — collapsed building, fire, gas leak, people trapped.
  3. WHO is hurt — how many people, are they conscious. Then stay on the line until the operator says to hang up.

Lines are busiest right after a quake. Keep calls short, and use SMS for non-urgent contact so voice lines stay free.

Hospitals & embassies

In a medical emergency, call an ambulance on 102 (or Nepal Red Cross 1130). Provincial and major hospitals run 24-hour emergency departments.

Hospital names, addresses and provinces are compiled from public sources (Wikipedia's “List of hospitals in Nepal”, citing Nepal's Dept. of Health Services) and may be out of date. Phone numbers, where shown, come from public listings and may have changed — always verify before relying on one; for any hospital without a number, or in an emergency, call 102 for an ambulance. Embassy numbers change often; confirm on the embassy's official website.
