If the standard voltage in your country is in between 220 & 240 V, as it would be in the UK, Europe, Australia, and most of Asia and Africa, you can use your electric or electronic appliances in Nepal without a converter. However, if the standard voltage in your country is n between 100 & 127 V, as it would be in the US, Canada and most South American countries, then you will need a voltage converter before using your appliances. If you are not sure about the voltage thing, you can check on your appliance where you will find a label. If the label states something like “INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz, your appliance can be used in any of the countries in the world.
