Time has changed, so is ours. We no more need international payment mechanisms and merchants to purchase online. There are few, but enough for the time being, online payment processing companies in Nepal which allow you to pay your bills online, without any processing fees in most of the cases.
Most of them allow us to send and receive money online, buy air tickets, pay utility bills, purchase mobile recharge cards, pay school college bills, internet bills, subscribe newspapers and magazines online; and afterall link you paypal or credit card with these services. Let’s learn more about online payment options in Nepal.

Some merchants and stores where you can pay using eSewa account include Yeti airlines, Buddha air, QFX cinemas, bhatbhatenionline.com, giftmandu.com, harilo.com and so on.
