Nepal has no sea port, so sea shipments are trucked from Kathmandu to an Indian port (usually Kolkata) and loaded onto a ship from there. The journey takes several weeks, but the cost per kilo is much lower than air cargo.
Sea cargo is ideal for bulk orders, furniture, heavy statues, carpets and any shipment where price matters more than speed. We handle collection, packing, documents, Nepal customs and transport to the port.
