Quick answer
Who is a reliable kurtis supplier and exporter for Nepal?
Hurain Garments Exporter, based in Palanpur, Gujarat, manufactures, wholesales and exports kurtis to buyers in Nepal, including Kathmandu, Nepalgunj, Dharan. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF Kolkata / Visakhapatnam with about 3–12 days sea transit and full export documents.
Why Nepal needs kurtis
Nepal imports most of its clothing through Kolkata and the Indian land border at Birgunj, and Kathmandu's retailers and tourist-area shops buy from Indian factories.
Kurtis have moved beyond South Asian communities: boutiques, diaspora stores and online sellers reorder fresh prints and cuts before every festival.
Wholesale & trading houses in Nepal
Wholesalers and trading houses in Kathmandu and Birgunj buy mixed containers of T-shirts, jeans, kidswear and basics, selling on to shops and market traders across Nepal and neighbouring markets.
In Nepal, garment wholesalers and jobbers and import–export trading houses buy kurtis from us mainly for boutiques and multi-brand fashion stores and diaspora and ethnic-wear retailers.

The garment market in Nepal
Nepal imports most of its clothing through Kolkata and the Indian land border at Birgunj, and Kathmandu's retailers and tourist-area shops buy from Indian factories.
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 Nepal 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.
Import rules and labelling for Nepal
Goods enter by road from India under the India–Nepal treaty arrangements or by sea through Kolkata; check customs and labelling rules with your broker.
Duties and taxes: Customs duty plus VAT/GST under the national tariff. Rates change, so confirm the HS code and duty with your customs broker before you finalise landed cost; we supply the invoice, packing list and certificate of origin needed for clearance.
Planning your kurtis order for Nepal
Timing decides whether kurtis sell at full price or at a discount in Nepal. 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. For kurtis specifically, orders for Eid, Diwali, Navratri and wedding seasons are placed 3–4 months early; casual cotton kurtis sell year-round, with summer lines peaking from January. Our lead time is 30–45 days including sampling; 20–25 days on repeat designs, plus sea transit of about 3–12 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.
Typical buyers of kurtis in Nepal include ethnic-wear boutiques in the UK, US and Gulf, online fashion marketplaces, wholesalers supplying festive stock and retail chains with a South Asian customer base. Around Kathmandu and Birgunj, they usually order 300 pieces per design with up to 4 colours; 1,200–1,500 pieces per container order for mixed designs is common and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.
Fabric, fit and colour choices for Nepal
For Nepal we suggest planning kurtis in two drops, one in lighter fabrics and one in heavier ones, so stock matches the weather rather than sitting unsold.
Sizes: S–XXL standard, 3XL–5XL plus-size, lengths 36–48 inches; free-size short tunics for boutiques. Colours: Wide solid and print palettes with 4–6 colourways per design; festive palettes for Eid, Diwali and wedding seasons.
Kurtis made in bulk to your colour, size and design
You are not limited to stock designs. We make kurtis in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Nepal market. A reference garment, a tech pack, a sketch or even a photograph is enough to start.
How it works: send a Pantone code or fabric swatch for colour and we return a lab-dip; send your size chart and the ratio you want in each carton; send artwork, print, embroidery or label files for the design. We make a sample for approval and then produce the bulk to that approved sample, so the order you receive matches the one you signed off.
- Colour: Wide solid and print palettes with 4–6 colourways per design; festive palettes for Eid, Diwali and wedding seasons.
- Size: S–XXL standard, 3XL–5XL plus-size, lengths 36–48 inches; free-size short tunics for boutiques.
- Design and branding: own prints and embroidery designs, matching dupattas and bottoms, custom neck and sleeve patterns and private-label packaging and hang tags.
About our kurtis
To control returns, we measure a fit sample of each block, grade it carefully, and check measurements on every carton sample against the spec sheet, with particular attention to length, bust and sleeve.
The kurti has moved well beyond South Asian communities. Women in Africa, the Gulf, Europe and North America now buy kurtis as relaxed tunics, and retailers add them for the comfort and print. We work with units in Jaipur, Delhi, Kolkata and Surat that print, embroider and stitch under one roof, which keeps the timeline short.
