Looks like your country is not supported for SMS auth (https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/securing-your-account-with-two-factor-authentication-2fa/countries-where-sms-authentication-is-supported#supported-countries-for-sms-authentication)

You can use GitHub Mobile or Security keys as your 2FA .

GitHub Mobile: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/securing-your-account-with-two-factor-authentication-2fa/configuring-two-factor-authentication#configuring-two-factor-authentication-using-github-mobile
Security keys: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/securing-your-account-with-two-factor-authentication-2fa/configuring-two-factor-authentication#configuring-two-factor-authentication-using-a-security-key
TOTP: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/securing-your-account-with-two-factor-authentication-2fa/configuring-two-factor-authentication#configuring-two-factor-authentication-using-a-totp-mobile-app

Please verify this answer, have a great day!

@Anixton is correct, thank you for answering. I'm afraid, we can currently only offer SMS authentication in countries where our SMS providers can guarantee a high deliverability rate. Unfortunately, their service is not reliable enough in Nepal for us to offer SMS authentication as an option, at this time.
