Why Sending Rakhi to Nepal Feels Harder Than It Should Be
If you’ve ever tried to send something across borders, you already know the deal — confusing courier rates, unclear delivery timelines, customs worries, and way too many clicks just to place one order. When you’re trying to send something as meaningful as a rakhi, those frustrations hit even harder.
Common Struggles Our Customers Face:
- Timing stress: “Will it reach before Raksha Bandhan?”
- Hidden costs: “Why is international shipping this expensive?”
- Delivery doubts: “What if it gets stuck or lost in transit?”
- Lack of options: “I don’t want to send just a thread — I want it to feel special.”
We hear these concerns every year. And they’re exactly why we’ve built a platform that makes rakhi delivery in Nepal simpler, faster, and more heartfelt — no matter where you’re ordering from.
Whether you’re sending from India, the US, Australia, or within Nepal itself, Giftmandu takes care of:
- Quick, nationwide delivery across Nepal (including same-day options in major cities)
- All customs and cross-border logistics
- A wide range of rakhis and gift combos to choose from
- Regular deals and discounts to keep it budget-friendly
Bottom line? You focus on the love — we’ll handle the delivery.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Rakhi Delivery to Nepal
1. Can I send rakhi to Nepal from outside the country?
Yes, you can! No matter where you are — India, the US, UK, Australia, or elsewhere — you can place an order on Giftmandu.com, and we’ll deliver your rakhi within Nepal.
2. How early should I order my rakhi?
For remote areas, it’s best to order at least 4–5 days before Raksha Bandhan. For express delivery in Kathmandu, you can place an order even one day before, depending on cut-off times.
3. Are there any extra delivery or customs charges?
There are no customs charges, and your recipient in Nepal won’t have to pay anything on delivery. However, a separate delivery fee is added at checkout, based on the delivery location. You’ll see this clearly before placing your order.
4. Do you offer same-day delivery?
Yes, for Kathmandu Valley, we offer same-day delivery if you order before our daily cut-off. It’s perfect for those last-minute surprises!
5. Can I send gifts along with the rakhi?
Absolutely. You can browse our rakhi hampers, sweets, personalised gifts, and more to build a gift package that fits your style and budget.
6. Where can I track my order?
Once your order is dispatched, you can track it directly through your Giftmandu account or via the order confirmation email you receive.
Customs & Shipping Notes: What You Should Know
When you’re sending something across borders, it’s natural to worry about customs delays or complicated paperwork. The good news? At Giftmandu, we’ve streamlined the process so you don’t need to deal with any customs hassle — we handle everything internally.
Here’s what you should know:
✅ No Customs Clearance Needed by You
All rakhi orders placed on Giftmandu.com are shipped within Nepal, even if you order from abroad. That means:
- No customs declaration forms for you
- No risk of your rakhi getting held at the border
- No duties or charges for your recipient
What About Items Sent from India or Outside Nepal?
If you’re trying to ship rakhi directly from another country (not using a Nepali platform like Giftmandu), your parcel may go through customs and:
- Take significantly longer to arrive
- Require additional paperwork
- Risk getting delayed or rejected
That’s why using a trusted local delivery platform is your safest bet. With Giftmandu, your order is fulfilled and delivered from within Nepal, ensuring faster and smoother delivery.
