Buyers here are wholesalers in Kathmandu and Birgunj buy fashion basics and festive wear; schools and institutions buy uniforms; tourism retailers buy printed and woven garments.
What buyers in Kathmandu look for
Buyers like cotton kurtis, T-shirts, jeans, hoodies, jackets and school uniforms; Dashain and Tihar drive festive buying.
Cold winters in the hills favour hoodies and jackets from October to February; peaks run through Dashain and Tihar (September–November) and the school year from April.
Planning garment orders for Kathmandu
Cold winters in the hills favour hoodies and jackets from October to February; peaks run through Dashain and Tihar (September–November) and the school year from April. We ship from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Kolkata in about 3–12 days; production takes 25 to 60 days, so confirm peak-season orders for Kathmandu three to five months ahead.
How an order reaches Kathmandu
Goods for Kathmandu are cut, sewn and finished in our partner factories, inspected on an AQL basis and consolidated at our Gujarat base, then loaded at Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva. The container is discharged at Kolkata, and your clearing agent moves it on to Kathmandu. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and we send the invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading as soon as the container is loaded.
Importers in Kathmandu usually start with a mixed first container to test the market: two or three fast-moving basics, one design-led line and a few trial styles. Repeat orders then concentrate on the lines that sell, which shortens the lead time because fabric and patterns are already on file.
Why importers in Kathmandu source garments from India
Buyers like cotton kurtis, T-shirts, jeans, hoodies, jackets and school uniforms; Dashain and Tihar drive festive buying. Indian factories supply the fabrics these buyers ask for, such as cotton, rayon, linen blends, denim and knits, in small design runs, which suits importers in Kathmandu who test a range before they commit to larger orders.
Wholesalers in Kathmandu and Birgunj buy fashion basics and festive wear; schools and institutions buy uniforms; tourism retailers buy printed and woven garments. A mixed first container with two or three fast-moving basics, one design-led line and a few trial styles is the usual way in, and repeat orders then concentrate on what sells.
