Currency Exchange & ATM facilities

Posted in 10th Jun, 2020

Due to modern technology traveling is more convenient than ever in terms of carrying currency for daily food, stay, and shopping expenses. When you are traveling to Nepal, you don’t need to worry about carrying currency and to exchange to local Nepal currency. Nepal has Nepal Currency and ATM facilities so you can exchange your currency through money exchange counters, Commercial Banks, and authorized hotels and grocery stores. Daily exchange rates are fixed by the Nepal Rastra Bank ( Central Bank of Nepal). The exchange rate fluctuates from time to time. Under the present system, the open market exchange rates quoted by different banks may differ.

You can exchange US Dollar, British Pound, Euro, Swiss Franc, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Singapore Dollar, Japanese Yen, Hong Kong Dollar, Danish Krone, Swedish Krona, Saudi Riyal, Qatari Rial, United Arab Emirates Dirham, Thai Baht, Malaysian Ringgit, Chinese Yuan, South Korean Won easily. Coins have come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, and 10 rupees while paper note comes in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, and 1000 however you will get hardily 1 & 2 rupees note.

It will be easier to use Nepalese currency for your personal expenses and shopping as the price tag is given in local currency. We accept major international currencies and can be used in most shops and restaurants. Indian currency and US dollars are also widely accepted all over the cities. We would like to advise you to carry local Nepal currency if you are going trekking in the Himalayas or remote parts of villages. They accept only local currency. You may not get any money exchange counters or banks in the mountains and villages.

Nowadays you don’t need to walk by carrying many wads of cash in your pocket. Major Credit Cards such as Visa Card, MasterCard, JCB, and American Express, are readily accepted at midrange and better hotels, restaurants, airlines, and major tourist merchants in Kathmandu, Chitwan, and Pokhara. The surcharge might be applicable to pay through your debit and credit cards. We accept international debit or credit cards for our payment with an additional 4% bank charge.

You can find an ATM machine in all major cities and on the highway. You can draw local currency through your credit or Debit card. ATMs in Nepal do usually limit the amount of cash you can take out per day. The withdrawal limit per transaction is NPR 20,000 (approx. USD 170) and the single-day limit is 60000 (Approx. USD 500). Please note that the local bank will charge about USD 5 per transaction as a bank service charge for each withdrawal.  

As India is close neighboring country of Nepal, Indians can use their currency denominations below 100 rupees notes all over Nepal. However, 200, 500, and 2000 notes are prohibited by the Central Bank of Nepal. The exchange rate between Indian currencies to Nepal currency is fixed at INR 100 equivalent to NPR 160.00. Most of the Indian debit and credit cards can be used with some limitations. Please contact us for more details.

Did 13 days Nepal tour. Excellent hotel arrangements made by Mr. Santosh MD of this company. All land transport by Scorpio vehicle. All important hill stations, amazing natural scenery. Unfortunately climate turned hostile. Some places visibility was very poor due to fog and cloud.

I had recently travelled to Nepal with my family (which includes 3 kids). Santosh had organized the trip very well that we didnt have to struggle at any spot. The accomodations were so comfortable. He also greeted us at the hotel on the day of arrival and made timely checks to ensure all is well. It was quite a pleasant experience travelling with Golden Nepal tours and I will certainly recommend them to all my friends who intend to tour Nepal. Once again, Thank you Santosh for all the arrangements and your hospitality.

My wife & I had booked our first Nepal trip through Santosh sir. He handled it amazing. From the time we landed till we left, literally every little detail was professionally & well thought of taken care by him & his amazing team. The choice hotels he put us up at were amazing. All activities also handled by him very well. Now, booking my next Everest Base Camp trek through him again. I know I’d not regret it. Great place to start your trip.

I'm 3rd times traveling to Nepal. This time I went to attending Buddhist course in Kopan Monastery with friend. My friend is 1st time to Nepal. We would like to thanks to Mr Santosh for the nice arrangement. It really explore the Nepal much by visiting the famous places in city and other states. He is very nice person and always take care of us by daily call and messenger. Thanks to Mr Santosh for the special arrangement. Besides, the transport arrangement also very nice and comfortable. As for the hotel, it also very nice and clean hotel during our stay in Nepal. All the hotel is located within walking distance to shopping street. So we just need to do more walking and visit around the shopping street. Lastly, we would like to thanks to Mr Santosh for the delicious dinner at his home. His wife had prepared lots of traditional local food for us to enjoy. We very appreciate his wife for her effort and time. Especially the momo and Nepali set meal very nice and delicious. Next year I will travel again to Nepal for Holy Festival in March 2020. We looking forward to our next year trip itinerary with Mr Santosh from Golden Nepal Holidays.
