Gold Rate Today in Nepal — Live Gold Price per Gram
Nepal measures gold in tola — one tola is 11.664 grams — and the Federation of Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers’ Association (FENEGOSIDA) sets the daily rate per tola in Nepalese Rupees (रू / NPR) that Kathmandu’s jewellers follow. Smaller amounts are counted in laal, one-tenth of a tola.
Weddings and festivals like Teej drive demand, and 22k (called "chhapawal" or fine gold) is the standard for jewellery, with 24k tejabi gold for bars. The table below takes the live international spot price, applies the current USD-NPR rate, and shows per gram, per tola and per karat.
Because Nepal imports its gold and the rupee is informally tied to the Indian rupee, local rates carry import and margin premiums over pure international parity, so read these figures as a fair-value benchmark before making charges (jyala).
