Abhagi Kale,

I am not sure what PA has on its policy for out-of-country experience, but I am sure other states give credit for foreign experience as long as you can document them. However, the credit may not be one on one, say, they may give a 3-year credit for your six year experience. That was what had happened to me when I was appearing on my PE examinations in Maryland. If PA state does not give your credit, you may try some adjacent states, such as Maryland or Delaware.

MaSingh,
Your experience in Nepal may count - please check with DPOR. Give them a call. Get in touch with other Nepali engineers who have recently become PE (believe me, there are several of us!). Last year I had helped organize a get together for Pulchowk Campus alums, and the turnout was surprising!
Please email me to get in contact of Engineers from Pulchowk campus. Some of them have been PE based on their BE from Pulchowk Campus and other qualifying experience. The best bet is to ask around.

Good luck with your exams. It feels good to see more and more Nepalis being licensed Professional Engineer!

GP ji - thanks for your great input and encouragement for  aspiring PEs.
