Starting rates. Real pricing depends on weight.
Final price depends on actual or volumetric weight (whichever is greater) plus the international fuel surcharge in force on your booking date. GST is extra. Nepal is the cheapest international lane out of Jaipur — proximity and SAFTA preferential trade do most of the work.
Starting per-kg rates
- Express (4–6 days, door)from ₹500 / kg
- Economy (6–10 days, door)from ₹350 / kg
- Min billable weight0.5 kg
- Pickup from JaipurFree at 5 kg+
Volumetric formula: (L × W × H cm) ÷ 5000.
Worked example
A 2 kg parcel — say a sealed box of dry mithai and a small Tihar/Diwali decoration set:
- Express, 2 kg × ₹500≈ ₹1,000
- + fuel surcharge (~25%)≈ ₹250
- + GST 18%≈ ₹225
- Approx total, express≈ ₹1,650
Indicative only. Fuel surcharge and rate cards change.
What you’ll need at pickup.
Customs paperwork is the most common reason an international parcel stalls. We’ll walk you through it before pickup so it doesn’t. Indo-Nepal customs is generally efficient — most parcels clear cleanly with the standard set.
KYC of the sender
One photo ID for the person whose name is on the AWB — Aadhaar, passport or driving licence. We photograph it at pickup; not stored beyond DTDC’s record.
Commercial invoice
For commercial goods, a printed invoice listing items, quantity and value. For gifts, a written declaration suffices but value still must be stated. Recipient’s Nepal Citizenship Card or passport number helps clearance.
Prescription (medicines)
For tablets going to a family member: a copy of the prescription with the doctor’s registration number. Nepal’s DDA flags injectables and controlled substances; sealed-strip oral medication in prescribed quantities is fine.
What Nepal doesn’t let in.
Despite the open border and shared culture, Nepal Customs (Department of Customs) enforces a clear list. Items shipped against it are seized at Tribhuvan, with disposal fees billed to the consignee.
Don’t even try
- Weapons and replicas — including decorative khukuri and edged souvenirs. Nepal is strict despite the cultural tradition; courier is a zero-tolerance channel.
- Drugs and narcotics — including unprescribed pharmaceuticals.
- Aerosols and pressurised liquids — universal courier rule.
- Lithium batteries above 100 Wh — restricted on air leg.
- Counterfeit goods — branded fakes are seized; fines apply.
- Maoist-glorifying or extremist religious media — post-conflict and inter-faith sensitivities; flagged at customs.
Allowed with care
- Textiles and Jaipur block-print — Sanganeri and Bagru block-print fabric, cotton clothing, wedding outfits. Declare a fair value.
- Books, in any language — Nepali and Hindi translations are welcomed; declare title and value.
- Sealed dry sweets and namkeen — Indian mithai is genuinely appreciated, especially at Tihar/Diwali. Declare ingredients; keep packaging factory-sealed.
- Prescription tablets — small quantities, sealed strips, prescription attached.
- Non-precious jewellery and small electronics — declare make, model, value. Jaipur’s Johari Bazaar non-precious / costume sets are a regular shipment.
- Hindu religious materials — Nepal is a Hindu-majority state; idols, prayer items and pooja kits are culturally resonant and clear without issue.
- Gem-trade non-precious samples — colour-stone and synthetic samples, properly invoiced.
Marwari B2B, gem-trade samples, festival shipments.
Gem-trade non-precious samples to Kathmandu
Colour-stone and synthetic samples to Marwari merchants on New Road, Asan and Indra Chowk — historic Marwari-Nepali commercial axis with deep Jaipur Johari Bazaar links. Always commercial invoice + KYC.
Block-print B2B to Kathmandu wholesale
Sanganeri and Bagru hand-block-print bedsheets, dohars, dupattas and yardage to New Road / Asan / Indra Chowk wholesale. Commercial invoice + HS codes + consignee registration.
Wedding outfits & jewellery (non-precious)
Sherwanis, lehengas, dupattas, costume jewellery boxes. Nepali-Hindu weddings frequently incorporate Marwari-Indian traditions; cross-border weddings are common.
Diwali / Tihar parcels
Nepal officially celebrates Tihar in the same Oct–Nov window as Diwali. Diyas, decorations, sealed dry sweets, pooja items. Heavy seasonal volume — ship by mid-October.
Gifts to Nepali-Indian families
Kathmandu, Pokhara, Biratnagar, Bhairahawa. Indo-Nepal family ties are dense — many Marwari business families have Kathmandu branches. Sarees, kitchenware, books.
Returning-traveller baggage
Nepali tourists who shopped too much in Jaipur — Johari Bazaar, Bapu Bazaar, Tripolia. Picked up from the hotel, packed, shipped before they fly out.
Hindu religious materials
Pashupatinath and Lumbini connections drive a steady flow of pooja items, idols and devotional books between Jaipur and Nepal.

Asked most often.
Why is Nepal the cheapest international lane from Jaipur?
Two reasons. First, geography — Kathmandu is a short hop via Delhi, with surface trans-shipment via Gorakhpur–Sunauli also viable for economy. Second, the India–Nepal SAFTA preferential trade arrangement keeps tariff and documentation overhead low. The result is express rates from around ₹500/kg, well below any other international destination from Jaipur.
We run a Johari Bazaar gem-stone export business — what does the Kathmandu B2B routine look like?
Standard commercial export. You give us a clear commercial invoice (item, quantity, value), KYC, and the consignee’s registration if they have one — most New Road / Asan / Indra Chowk Marwari wholesalers do. We prepare the AWB, the parcel rides out the same evening, and Nepal Customs at Tribhuvan typically clears it within 24–48 hours. The Jaipur–Kathmandu Marwari axis is old and well-paper-trailed; this lane is predictable.
When should I send Tihar / Diwali parcels?
Tihar in Nepal falls in the same Oct–Nov window as Diwali, and the volume on this lane spikes hard in that period. Ship express by the second week of October to be safe; economy needs to leave by the last week of September. Late shipments still go through, but customs queues lengthen and the last-mile in Kathmandu gets congested in the festival week itself.
