02Location
Where is our garment factory in Nepal?
Our factory is at Gaida Chowk, Ward-6, Gaindakot, Nawalparasi (East), Gandaki Province, near Nepal’s East–West Highway. It is not in Kathmandu: Kathmandu is where air freight leaves (FCA Kathmandu), and sea freight leaves through Kolkata in India (FOB Kolkata).
The office is open Sunday–Friday 09:00–18:00 and Saturday 09:00–12:00, and the factory floor works 07:00–19:00, Sunday–Friday, Nepal time. Find us on Google Maps.
03Why Nepal
Why choose a garment factory in Nepal?
Nepal-made knitwear enters the EU, UK, Canada and Japan at 0% import duty while Nepal is a least-developed country, and cutting and sewing here confers origin even with imported fabric. As a REX-registered exporter we put the origin statement that claims it on every invoice.
And the honest part: Bangladesh enjoys the same 0%. Our case against the mega-hubs isn’t duty — it’s a 200-piece-per-style-and-colour MOQ they won’t touch, dedicated rather than overbooked capacity, a local, permanent team of around 80% women, and a factory you can visit or video-call before you order. The full duty breakdown.
04Verify, don’t trust
How can buyers check the factory is real?
- A registered Nepali exporter with an EXIM code and REX registration — company documents available on request.
- A physical factory at Gaida Chowk, Ward-6, Gaindakot — visit in person on any working day.
- Live, unscripted video walkthroughs where you direct the camera.
- Named ownership: you deal directly with the founder, not a sales layer.
