About Gold Price in Nepal
The gold price in Nepal today is set daily by the Federation of Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers Association (FENEGOSIDA). Nepal’s gold prices are directly tied to international gold rates and the USD/NPR exchange rate published by Nepal Rastra Bank.
How is Gold Priced in Nepal?
FENEGOSIDA calculates gold rates every morning using: (1) London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) international gold price, (2) USD/NPR rate from NRB, and (3) a fixed import duty of 10% + 13% VAT. This is why Nepal’s gold prices are generally higher than India’s — import costs add to the base price.
What is “Tola” — Nepal’s Gold Measurement
1 tola = 11.66 grams. This traditional South Asian unit is still used across all gold markets in Nepal and India. When jewelers quote gold prices, always ask for the tola rate from FENEGOSIDA’s official list to verify you’re paying the correct price.
💡Pro Tip: When buying gold jewelry, you pay the gold price PLUS making charges (Rs. 500-3,000/tola depending on design complexity). Always negotiate making charges — they are not fixed by FENEGOSIDA.
