Nepal's gold market is closely linked to India's, as Nepal imports most of its gold from India and through official customs channels. Gold prices in Nepal are quoted in Nepalese Rupees (NPR) and track Indian IBJA rates with a modest local premium due to import duties and transport costs — the differential is typically NPR 100–400 per gram. The Federation of Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers Association (FENEGOSIDA) announces the daily gold rate each morning in Kathmandu, which jewellers across Nepal follow. Asan Tole in central Kathmandu is the oldest and most vibrant gold market, dating back centuries, surrounded by traditional Newari architecture and gold jewellery shops. The Thamel tourist district also has numerous silver and gold jewellery sellers. Wedding and festival gold demand is very high in Nepal — 22K and 24K gold sets are central to Hindu and Buddhist wedding ceremonies. Pashupatinath temple festivals and Teej (a major women's festival) drive significant gold jewellery purchases. Nepal levies customs duty on gold imports, and illegal gold smuggling from India is a known market distortion. Gold investment via physical bars is less common than India due to limited financial infrastructure.
