Shipping options from China to Nepal
Air, road and sea freight compared by transit time, cost and cargo type.
Nepal is landlocked, so every China shipment ends with a land leg. Air freight lands in Kathmandu; road freight crosses at Kerung–Rasuwagadhi or Tatopani; sea freight lands at Kolkata or Haldia and moves by rail or road to Birgunj.
The right option depends on urgency, weight, volume, cargo type and season — monsoon landslides can affect the Himalayan road routes.
