The Nepali rupee is pegged to the Indian rupee at 1.6 Nepali rupees to one Indian rupee, so the dirham–NPR rate moves almost exactly in step with the dirham–INR rate. Remittances make up a large share of Nepal’s economy, and the UAE is one of the main places they come from. Below is today’s live dirham to Nepali rupee rate, the Central Bank of the UAE’s official rate, a two-way converter and a quick check for the rate your exchange house offers.

Sending money to Nepal: what to know
- Check the INR rate as a guide. Because of the peg, if the Indian rupee weakens against the dirham, your Nepali rupee transfer goes further too.
- Use licensed channels only. Hundi is illegal in the UAE and Nepal, and money sent that way has no protection.
- Compare bank deposit and cash pickup. Rates and fees can differ between the two for the same provider.
- Compare before you send. Exchange houses such as Al Ansari, LuLu and Al Fardan show their rates in their apps. Type each quote into the checker above; see our money transfer comparison for providers.
