Hey Keyser,
Brut gold price everywhere is the same. Why does your friend want to take gold bars? Is it to give them to a jewler in Nepal to make jewels from them? If so, I can bet you that the gold jewler in Nepal will keep your friend's gold bars and make his jewels out of gold that he buys in Nepal. Nepalese jewlers love foreign gold bars and believe them to be purer than the gold bars they buy in Nepal from authorized government banks.
Like Tyrion said, if your friend does not care about the quality of diamond he can buy his jewels in Nepal. Diamonds in Nepal are cheap because most of them are low-grade diamonds with majority being "dust-diamonds" (tiny pieces of diamonds collected while cutting a bigger diamond). Some of the diamonds in nepal are synthetic diamonds "moissanite" as well.
Yes some jewlery brands are over priced here in the west, but you have some guaranti in quality and design. But the same jewels are 3-5 times cheaper in Nepal.
