Looking for the gold price in Nepal today? The live widget below fetches the official daily rate directly from FENEGOSIDA (Federation of Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers Association) — the only authorized body that sets gold and silver prices in Nepal — and shows you the current Hallmark (Fine Gold 9999) and Tejabi Gold rates in both per tola and per 10 grams, updated automatically every day.
Hallmark Gold vs Tejabi Gold – What is the Difference?
Nepal's official gold market recognizes two main categories, and knowing the difference helps you buy smart:
- Fine Gold / Hallmark (9999) — छापावाल सुन: This is 24-karat gold with 99.99% purity, certified by the Nepal Bureau of Standards and Metrology (NBSM). It is the benchmark for investment-grade gold — used for coins, bars, and high-purity jewellery. It commands the highest price per tola.
- Tejabi Gold — तेजाबी सुन: This is 22-karat gold with approximately 91.67% purity. The name "tejabi" comes from the acid (tejab) test historically used to verify purity. It is the most commonly used gold for everyday jewellery in Nepal and is priced slightly lower than Hallmark.
Gold Price in Nepal – Recent History (2025–2026)
Gold prices in Nepal have been on a strong upward trend driven by global market movements and the Nepali Rupee's depreciation against the US Dollar. Here is a snapshot of Hallmark gold prices per tola in recent months:
| Period | Hallmark Gold (per tola) | Trend |
|---|---|---|
| Early 2025 | ~ Rs 1,60,000 – 1,80,000 | Rising |
| Mid 2025 | ~ Rs 1,90,000 – 2,20,000 | Rising |
| Late 2025 | ~ Rs 2,30,000 – 2,70,000 | Rising sharply |
| Early 2026 | ~ Rs 2,80,000 – 3,00,000+ | Near all-time high |
| June 2026 (current) | Rs 2,78,300 per tola | Slight correction |
In just over a decade, Hallmark gold in Nepal has risen from around Rs 55,000–65,000 per tola (circa 2013–14) to well over Rs 2,78,000 per tola in 2026 — a more than fourfold increase in NPR terms, driven by both global gold price appreciation and the weakening Nepali Rupee against the US Dollar.
What Factors Drive Gold Prices in Nepal?
- International spot price (LBMA): Nepal imports all its gold, so the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) morning fix is the single biggest driver of daily prices.
- USD/NPR exchange rate: Gold is traded globally in US Dollars. When the Nepali Rupee weakens against the Dollar, the same ounce of gold costs more in NPR.
- NRB (Nepal Rastra Bank) exchange rate: FENEGOSIDA uses the official NRB exchange rate to convert the international USD price into Nepali Rupees.
- Import and handling costs: Customs duties, import charges, and the cost of transporting gold to Nepal are factored into the final retail rate.
- Local demand: Wedding season (typically Baisakh–Jestha and Kartik–Mangsir) sees surges in demand that can push local prices slightly higher.
- Global geopolitical events: War, economic uncertainty, and central bank gold buying globally push the international spot price — and Nepal's price follows.
Gold Price per Gram in Nepal – Quick Reference
Many buyers want to know the price per gram, not just per tola or per 10 grams. Here is the quick conversion: 1 tola = 11.6638 grams. So if the Hallmark gold price is Rs 2,78,300 per tola, the price per gram is approximately Rs 23,857. The live widget above shows the price per 10 grams directly — just divide that number by 10 for the per-gram price.
Where to Buy Gold in Nepal
Gold can be purchased from any FENEGOSIDA-registered gold and silver dealer across Nepal. Major gold markets include Indra Chowk and Ason in Kathmandu, jewellery lanes in Biratnagar, Pokhara, Birgunj, and Butwal. Always check the day's FENEGOSIDA rate before buying and ask for a proper receipt. Making charges (for jewellery crafting) are charged separately on top of the gold rate.
