Nepal: USD exchange rate

The currency chart for Nepal shows historical data for the Nepalese Rupees per USD exchange rate. These are monthly averages and not end-of-month currency values.

Depreciation implies that goods from Nepal become cheaper to export and it becomes cheaper for foreigners to visit Nepal.
