Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), the central monetary authority of Nepal, has announced the official foreign exchange rates for today, outlining the buying and selling rates for a wide range of international currencies. These rates are determined by the bank based on international market trends and the domestic demand for foreign currencies.
US Dollar and Major Currencies
According to the NRB, the buying rate of one US Dollar has been set at NPR 136.99, while the selling rate is NPR 137.59. The US Dollar continues to remain one of the most widely traded and stable currencies in Nepal, especially for trade, remittance, and travel purposes.

From South Asia, the Indian Rupee, which has a special exchange relationship with Nepal, is being traded at NPR 160.00 per 100 INR (buying) and NPR 160.15 (selling). This fixed exchange rate system with minor daily fluctuations helps facilitate cross-border trade and movement.

The Bahraini Dinar follows with a buying rate of NPR 363.38 and a selling rate of NPR 364.97. These high exchange rates reflect the strength of the Gulf economies and the importance of these currencies for remittance-based income in Nepal.
NRB’s Flexibility and Advisory
Nepal Rastra Bank has emphasized that the exchange rates published are indicative mid-rates and may be revised at any time depending on market movements and international forex trends.
