Question 2

Where is the main gold market in Kathmandu?

Accepted Answer

The best-known gold trading area in Kathmandu is New Road & Asan Gold Market. It is the first place most local buyers compare quotes, though prices across the city follow the same national benchmark — what differs between shops is mainly making charges.

Question 3

Is gold cheaper in Kathmandu than in other cities in Nepal?

Accepted Answer

No — the gold rate itself is the same across Nepal because it is set from the international spot price and the exchange rate, not by city. Any difference in what you pay in Kathmandu comes from making charges, shop premiums and taxes, which vary by jeweller, so it pays to compare quotes.

Question 4

What karat of gold do buyers in Kathmandu prefer?

Accepted Answer

24K (chhapawal) and 22K are Nepal's two standard karats — 24K for investment bars and fine gold, 22K for everyday and bridal jewellery.
