About Emergency Numbers
In any emergency in Nepal, four toll-free national short codes work from any mobile or landline, 24/7, with no balance: 100 प्रहरी (Police), 101 दमकल (Fire), 102 एम्बुलेन्स (Ambulance), 103 ट्राफिक प्रहरी (Traffic). Say your exact location first — a dropped call after the location still gets help moving.
Beyond those, Nepal runs dedicated helplines for children, women, disaster response, tourists and more, listed below with tap-to-call links. This page is deliberately simple — in a genuine emergency you do not want to scroll.
How to use — step by step
- Call the matching national short code (below) — these are toll-free on every network.
- State your location first, then the emergency.
- For floods/landslides, also call the disaster helplines; for weather warnings use the hydrology line.
- Keep this page saved offline — emergency pages are fastest to bookmark.
