Like most other countries in the South-Asian regions, Nepal too has a 230-volt, 50-hertz cycle power supply. The home power supply is 230 volt across Nepal. All the local electrical equipments are meant to run on 230 volt, 50 hertz supply.   There are two basic problems that are faced by visitors from countries that have 110-volt power supply. The first is the adaptability of the equipment and the second is socket structure. In the normal course, the 110-volt appliances won’t run on the 230-volt power supply in Nepal. You will have to buy an adapter to run these equipments. These adapters are readily available in every other electric shop in Nepal. Buy a good one and avoid the locally made products. The one by Sony and Philips are your best bet.   The second problem is related to the electric supply sockets. Almost all the North and South American countries manufacture electric equipments that have flat-pin plugs against the cylindrical one used in the equipments manufactured by the commonwealth countries. To fix this problem you have, cheap and readily available, socket adaptors. These adaptors have two different sockets on its back that make it easy for the people to use the flat-pin equipments.
