Last year, a new internet service provider ‘WiFi Nepal’ made a compelling entry into Nepal’s ISP market on 15th June 2022 with the cheapest internet packages. Now its service has officially expanded in Pokhara as well. The company provides a 50 Mbps internet package for as low as Rs 333 per month which is arguably the cheapest internet cost in Nepal. Find out the complete details of WiFi Nepal’s internet packages and prices.
With the service launch in Pokhara WiFi Nepal has reached four different districts in Nepal including the three inside Kathmandu. Regarding its latest expansion, the company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Riteshraj Singh Shrestha said, “With the expansion of our service in three districts of Kathmandu valley, now we are going to expand WiFi Nepal in Pokhara as well,” CEO Shrestha said, “Outside the valley, our service will now expand from Pokhara.”
According to him, a 50 Mbps internet package can be purchased for 333 rupees per month and an 80 Mbps internet package for 533 rupees per month. In which the fee for three months will be Rs 1,100, the fee for the wire will be 500 rupees and the fee for the router will be 1,500 rupees.
For the first-time installation, you will need to pay a minimum fee for three months. For the months, you will need to pay Rs 3,100.
WiFi Nepal internet packages | 1-month | 3-months | 6-months | 12-months |
50 Mbps | Rs 333 | Rs 3,100 | Rs 3,600 | Rs 5,500 |
80 Mbps | Rs 533 | Rs 3,600 | Rs 4,700 | Rs 7,500 |
for the 50 Mbps internet service. The wire and the router will cost Rs 500 and Rs 1,500 respectively. The extra costs are waived on 6-month and 12-month packages.
The 80 Mbps package, costs Rs 3,600 for the internet for three months. On the three-month package, Rs 1,600 for the internet, Rs 500 for fiber cable, and Rs 1,500 for a router are also added. Here too, the charges on six-month and one-year subscriptions are not included.
The six-month plan costs Rs 4,700, and Rs 7,500 for an annual subscription.
WiFi Nepal has a huge potential to send ripples to the internet market in Nepal. Focusing on a decent speed and budget, the company could become the answer to many seeking low cost instead of 3-digit internet speeds.
WiFi Nepal is the debuting ISP in Nepal. It is entering the internet domain with a smart and ambitious strategy. Many ISPs in Nepal have already started offering high-speed internet packages. So, that is not the major concern. However, there is still demand for low-cost internet from customers who can do away with relatively low internet speed. WiFi Nepal seems to be cashing in on those voices.

At the moment, WiFi Nepal will only operate in Kathmandu. The company will offer services via service centers in different parts of the capital. Besides, there are plans to expand the service across Nepal in phases.
“Due to high internet costs, customers are still sharing their internet with others. This has compromised quality broadband performance for so many subscribers. But the company’s plans are affordable for anyone, and it could ensure higher access to the internet for more people,” Shrestha adds.
WiFi Nepal has only brought internet packages for residential users for now. And the company says they are kickstarting the service after a year of research and the customers won’t feel the lack of after-sales service.
“Our identity is the cost. We have equally focused on quality service. We are made up of professionals who have served long in internet service. This has helped us identify the customers’ needs and provide them with the service they want”, Shrestha adds.

Do you remember when CG Net made a bold entry into the ISP business a year before? It launched a 120 Mbps internet plan for just Rs 999. It created an uproar of excitement in Nepal and triggered the speed war. Its impact was so huge that other ISPs had to inflate their internet packages. Many offered improved fiber internet packages like that of Ntc and focused on performance improvements. After a few months, Nepal got its first-ever 1 Gbps internet plan.
WiFi Nepal though has a targeted value money plan instead of obsessing with high speed. The 50 Mbps plan is not rudimentary though. It still addresses the needs of most residential customers. More important, it is ‘very’ cheap. for 3-digit scores, people still pay almost the same price as they did a year before but for far lesser speed. However, most Nepalese don’t have diverse internet demands. Most spend their time on social media, YouTube, and TikTok and download large files occasionally. So, 50 and 80 Mbps plans are still good enough for many to address those demands.
But how far WiFi Nepal makes its impact will be interesting to see.
