Whenever someone provides a landline number they do not say the area code as if everyone calls from the same area or knows it automatically. When you dial the seven-digit number that doesn’t contain the area code, you will receive an audio message saying “the number you have dialed is not registered“. In this case, how do you call someone that you want to contact urgently? The only solution is to add the area code of that district. Therefore we have collected the area code with respect to each district in the following table.
Here is the list of area codes of Landline Telephone in Nepal. These codes are important for landline telephone while the country code +977 is optional for a local call (Within Nepal).

Why do I Need Area Code?
The telephone district and area code are required to make calls between two different areas. Generally, a call can be made within the same area without adding the code. But, while making call between two districts or from different telecom, it is required to make a call on the landline telephone.
What is the area code of Kathmandu?
The telephone area code of Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Lalitpur is 01. That means the code for the districts in the valley of Kathmandu is the same.
