Do we have to declare how much cash we are carrying while going to Nepal? Is there any limit? If you got checked and you have 15K, what would happen? Waiting for the response.....

i am not sure about the maximum limit of cash allowed without declaring, but if u are taking 15K with you(which I suggest is not a smart way to get money home-instead use money transfer services like Western Union orBank Services & take with u a low amount) be sure to carry with you the proof of the source of the money. If you are carrying cash and do not have proof of its legitimacy, you might be stopped not just in Nepal, buthere in the US and at your transit points as well--if the authorities find out abt it. So, just havesome documents with you that guarantees that the money is a legitimate money.Safe Travel!

above $10,000 you need to declare the cash (officially) but why do you risk carrying big amount of cash? You can send money thru bank i dont refer you to send money thru western union coz its charges are heavy and they give you less in exchange rate as well. So the best option is to send money thru bank (swift- it is the way to transfer money form one bank to another) the only thing you need to know is a/c number, account name, banks name, branchs name and swift code of the receiving bank.. it saves you from lots of unforseen hazard of carrying cash.

just inform your bank about your travel plans ...........and use your debit card here in KTM......... u could take money out from Nabil (kantipath) or Himalayan bank (thamel branch).........make sure you tak with your bank regarding how they would charge

It's mandatory to declare cash above and over $10K in port of entry (either country). Take proof of documents while carrying such cash in transit, though it not good for taking huge amount in form of cash.
