📅 May 2026·⏱ 5 min·✍️ LanovaPay Team
Dashain is Nepal's biggest festival and the single largest remittance period for the GBP-NPR corridor. British-Nepali families send tika money, gifts, and support during this 15-day celebration.
Planning Your Dashain Transfer
- eSewa and Khalti work 24/7 — even during Dashain holidays
- Bank transfers may be delayed as Nepali banks close for up to a week
- Send before Ghatasthapana (the first day) for stress-free celebration
- The NPR rate is pegged to INR, so track Indian rupee movements for timing
