Some mini marts have sim card and recharge card, usually they advertise it. The best is to get to the company store directly. To get your sim card as a foreigner you will need your passport, passport sized photo and you'll even have to give your finger prints (thumbs)!

It's little difficult to get the NAMASTE (NEPAL TELECOM) sim card as compared to that of the NCELL, But it's not that you have to find the company store,you can get NAMASTE sim's in mini marts too.Just check for the advertis*m*nts ,as they usually advertise it.For best coverage get a CDMA sim card from Nepal Telecom.

I purchased a sim from Ncell office in Thamel. This is located on the right after you enter Thamel from the main road. In June 2016, I paid 300 NPR for a week validity sim. I have written my experience here http://touristhelpline.com/getting-a-tourist-sim-in-nepal/

I ended up buying a NCELL card because they seemed easier available in Thamel. The coverage in the mountain I visited was not as good as Namaste or Nepal Telecom. There is a NCELL center in Thamel where you can get a card for 100rs (it's a little above Pilgrim guesthouse). They are also available through some kind of re-sellers, like photocopytores, but they sell them for 300rs. You need to fill out a form, bring a picture and a passport copy. Also they wanted my fingerprints!
3g worked well with the NCELL card in some parts of the country, but only slow edge in some parts of the mountains. You can buy a data package, but be advised that they add tax on top of the price quoted. Also, they give you a bonus, so that if you buy 500MB you actually get 1GB.
When I went higher up in the mountains, NCELL coverage stopped working. Porters used Namaste or Nepal Telecom in dual sim card phones, and they had no trouble getting coverage high up in the mountains. Not sure about GPRS, but most tea-houses also has working phones, and it didn't cost much to use them to numbers inside Nepal. International calls was rs150 pr. minute.
