About the UK to Nepal Corridor
The UK to Nepal corridor is powered by the British-Nepali community, including a substantial ex-Gurkha population across Aldershot, Reading and Kent. Nepal is among the world's most remittance-dependent economies relative to GDP. Mobile wallets (eSewa, Khalti) have grown rapidly alongside traditional bank payouts.
