From Hyderabad to Nepal in 1-2 working days. Per-kg rates from ₹1850 with packing and pickup at no extra cost. Our team prepares all Nepal Customs Department documentation — prepared from the declared item list before dispatch.
Eligibility, pricing inputs, estimated transit and destination-specific preparation in one concise guide.
Nepal is the easiest destination for festival gifts because the 1950 Treaty eliminates customs duty on personal shipments — your Diwali hamper clears without any duty assessment regardless of value. The Indian community in Kathmandu celebrates Diwali and Tihar with the same traditions as Hyderabad, and gift volume peaks during October-November. DHL reaches Kathmandu in one to two working days, the fastest international gift lane from Hyderabad. Food gifts face no biosecurity restrictions beyond Nepal's prohibited list, and homemade sweets and pickles clear without the inspections required by Australia or the US. We declare every gift item with a simple commercial invoice, pack food in vacuum-sealed containers, and the Customs Department processes the shipment within hours. Book Diwali shipments at least five working days ahead — less than any other destination because transit and clearance are both fast.
Kathmandu's Indian community celebrates Tihar — the Nepali name for Diwali — with the same five-day festival format as Hyderabad, and gift volume is substantial during this period. The 1950 Treaty means no duty on personal gifts, and the Customs Department of Nepal processes these shipments through a simplified declaration check rather than a full customs assessment. Homemade sweets, pickles and dry fruits clear without the biosecurity inspections that Western destinations require. Rakhi hampers with dry fruits and silk threads sail through with minimal documentation. Holi in March is another gift-shipping peak for the Indian community. We prepare a simple commercial invoice with item descriptions and values, and clearance happens within hours of arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport. WhatsApp us your hamper contents and we ship to Kathmandu faster than any other international destination.
