Send Gifts to Nepal from the UK
Shop online from the UK — delivered to your family anywhere in Nepal.
The UK is home to many Nepali families, including communities with Gurkha-service heritage, as well as students and professionals. If you're in Britain and want to send something to family in Nepal, Near Me delivers it for you inside Nepal — no parcel-forwarding and no customs paperwork on your side.
Nepali families in the UK — in London, Aldershot, Folkestone, Reading, Portsmouth and across Kent — stay close to home through the festival calendar: Dashain, Tihar, Teej and the Nepali New Year. A parcel arriving in Kathmandu, Pokhara or a village is how many people mark those days from afar.
How to send a gift to Nepal from the UK
- Choose the gift. Browse the full shop and add what you want to your cart.
- Enter the Nepal address. At checkout, give your family's name, phone number and delivery address in Nepal — not your address in the UK.
- Pay. Prices are in Nepali rupees (NPR). Pay online at checkout. Choose an online method rather than Cash on Delivery so the recipient pays nothing.
- Near Me dispatches. Orders placed before 2 PM Nepal time on a business day (Sunday–Friday) go out the same day.
- Delivered and tracked. Follow the order in My Orders after signing in.

Calculated live from current time-zone rules, so it stays correct when clocks change.
UK time is roughly five hours behind Nepal. The gap shifts by an hour when the UK clocks change (GMT/BST), so the live table above is the reliable guide. Nepal's dispatch cut-off is 2 PM Nepal time on business days (Sunday–Friday).
Gift ideas by occasion
Many senders order for Dashain and Tihar (including Bhai Tika), Teej, Holi, the Nepali New Year, birthdays and weddings. Sarees and ethnic wear suit Teej, Dashain and weddings; fashion and electronics are popular for birthdays and Tihar; home & kitchen and beauty items work year-round. For a festival, order a few days early so it arrives in time.
Frequently asked questions — UK to Nepal
Can I send gifts to Nepal from the UK?
Yes. Order on nearme.com.np from the UK, enter your family's address in Nepal as the delivery address, and Near Me delivers the order inside Nepal. Nothing is posted across a border.
How long does delivery take in Nepal?
Kathmandu Valley: 5-7 business days. Other province centres: 5-8 business days. Remote areas: 6-9 business days. Orders placed before 2 PM Nepal time on a business day (Sunday–Friday) are dispatched the same day.
Does the recipient pay anything on delivery?
Not if you choose an online payment method. Avoid Cash on Delivery for gifts — it asks the recipient to pay when the parcel arrives.
How do I pay from the UK?
Product prices are shown in Nepali rupees (NPR). Pay online at checkout.
Does the recipient in Nepal pay any customs or import duty on a gift from the UK?
No. The order is bought, packed and delivered inside Nepal by Near Me, so it does not cross a border — there is no customs clearance for the recipient.
Can I send a gift to Nepal from the UK for Dashain or Tihar?
Yes. Festival periods are busy, so order several days ahead of the date you want it to arrive. Delivery times for each part of Nepal are shown on this page.
Can Near Me ship an order to an address in the UK instead of Nepal?
Yes, for selected orders — see the International Shipping page for current fees, delivery times and import-duty information for the United Kingdom.
Who fulfils the order, and can I track it?
Near Me — a Nepal-based, single-vendor store — packs and ships every order itself. You can follow the status in My Orders after signing in, and we send email updates as it moves.
