Last updated: 25 October 2026

Time difference & quoting

Japan is 3 hours 15 minutes ahead of Kathmandu. A brief sent at the end of your day reaches our desk the next Japan morning, and the quotation is usually waiting when your office opens.

Getting your clients here

Most clients from Nepal fly from Tribhuvan International (KTM) to Tokyo Narita, Tokyo Haneda or Osaka Kansai, nonstop or via a hub depending on the carrier; we confirm every routing at quotation.

What Nepali travellers want

For Nepal, the product is group series, weddings and large family movements — and Hindi and regional South-Asian-aware handling makes the difference on the ground.

When this market travels

Demand for Japan from Nepal builds around Dashain and Tihar in October–November.

Currency, payment & billing

Your clients pay in Nepalese rupee (NPR). We quote net in Japanese yen, US dollars or your working currency and lock the rate at confirmation, so your margin in NPR is known before you sell.

Working with Nepali agencies

How Explera supports the Nepal trade.

Nepali agents move volume into Japan — series, celebrations and forty-plus family groups — and we block allocations months ahead to hold it. Group space is held on option with realistic release dates while you confirm with your client.

Commercially, your agency in Nepal works with a named account manager who answers during your office hours and quotes net, confidential rates. One line-itemised statement per file drops cleanly into your mid- or back-office system without manual rekeying.

Dining wins Nepal groups, so we pre-contract Indian, Jain and pure-vegetarian kitchens across Japan and route coaches around confirmed meal stops. Vehicles are licensed and insured, drivers are briefed on every file, and the 24/7 duty desk covers every ground hour of the trip.
