Nepal to Papua New Guinea: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) Adapter Needed

Heading from Nepal to Papua New Guinea? Plug types and voltage standards differ between countries, so a little preparation goes a long way. Here's a breakdown of what to expect at the wall socket.

Your Nepal plugs (Type C, D, M) won't fit Papua New Guinea's outlets (Type I). You'll want to grab a universal travel adapter or one specifically designed for Papua New Guinea before you depart.

The voltage and frequency in Papua New Guinea (240V, 50Hz) are close to Nepal (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.

Don't forget that Papua New Guinea hotel rooms sometimes have a universal shaver socket in the bathroom, but these low-wattage outlets aren't suitable for high-draw devices. For reliable charging, use the standard wall outlets with a proper adapter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Nepal uses Type C/D/M plugs and Papua New Guinea uses Type I. Since these are incompatible, you will need a travel adapter.
