Sending Money During Dashain: Nepal Corridor Tips

📅 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
