Public holiday today: Tihar
Government offices in Nepal, including the Nepal Telecommunications Authority, are closed on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, including Kathmandu Valley holidays such as Indra Jatra. NTA doesn’t process applications on those days, so allow for them when you plan a launch. Dashain and Tihar together close offices for about two weeks in October and November.
