The Currency Of Nepal

The official currency used in Nepal is the Nepalese rupee (NPR). The currency notes most beneficial for you during your stay in Nepal are the Rs. 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, and 1000 denominations. You can also find coins worth NPR 1 and 2. It’s also handy to keep some of these coins on hand. The Indian Rupee (INR) is also accepted in some regions of Nepal. Buy not bills of 500 and 2000.

Nevertheless, we still recommend getting Nepalese currency for ease of use. The exchange rates of foreign currencies fluctuate daily in response to market conditions. However, the exchange rate of the Nepalese Rupee (NPR) to the Indian Rupee (INR) remains constant. We suggest bringing your currency, preferably US dollars or Euros. According to the Nepal Rastra Bank’s exchange rate, exchanging money in Nepal is straightforward. Of course, the Exchange rate increases and decreases often.
