Nepal.

230 V · 50 Hz on Type C, Type D, Type M.

Follows the Indian pattern: round-pin Type D and M sockets alongside outlets that take two-pin Type C europlugs, all at 230 V and 50 Hz, so adapter kits sold for India work here too. Many sockets are multi-purpose and accept more than one pin pattern, which makes life easier than the type list suggests.

The voltage window

A nominal 230 V supply may legitimately sit anywhere between 207 and 253 V (±10%). Dual-voltage gear (marked 100–240 V) shrugs at all of it.
