By altitude

Nepal: no clear altitude pattern. How this is read.

Above 30,000 ft	262	0.0%

Nepal: an aircraft is counted in each layer it crosses, so the rows do not add up.

Background

We found no report of GPS jamming or spoofing in Nepal, and no notice on it from the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal. A 2026 paper to the Asia-Pacific conference of directors general of civil aviation called for joint action on GNSS interference across the region, and noted that NOTAMs describe it in different words from state to state (ICAO DGCA/61, 2026). For the reporting on interference in Nepal, and who it is attributed to, see South and Southeast Asia.

Only hexagons whose centre lies inside the borders of Nepal are counted, so hexagons in neighbouring countries and out at sea are left out. The map is framed on 26.3° N to 30.5° N and 80° E to 88.3° E.

Nepal is counted under South and Southeast Asia.

Nepal: with few aircraft, one report can give a hexagon a high share; see the limitations.

Nepal: low reported accuracy points to interference but does not prove it, and the map cannot locate a transmitter or say who is responsible. How the map is made.
