Nepal address format & examples

How to write a Nepalese address

Remember when it was super popular for the most suave entrepreneurs to go to Nepal and climb Mount Everest? Oh man, my uncle did it with his teenagers, but I think the cool thing to do is to say you climbed Mount Everest, knowing people would assume you went to the top when, in reality, you just went until the air started to get thin and it was real cold.

But no matter how high you went, you'd always want to have the right Nepalese address format before you send anything there. We've put together some Nepalese address format examples for you to check your mail format against and crest the mountain of deliverable mail. Smarty can help you with the mailing address format for any country in the world and get you rooftop-level geocodes for more buildings than any other address provider. Doesn't that warm your soul? It should. Ok, onto how to write Nepalese addresses.

  1. Addressee line - The recipient's full name.
  2. Street name - The street name goes on its own address line.
  3. City and postal code - The Nepalese address format lists the five-digit postal code after the city.
  4. Country - Written as "NPL"
