Muncha.com

Muncha.com has been sending gifts inside Nepal since 2000, when it took Muncha House - the New Road department store trading since 1925 - online to serve non-resident Nepalis who wanted to mark a birthday, anniversary or festival back home. The catalogue runs from cakes, mithai and flowers to groceries, spirits, soft toys, home appliances and health check-ups, grouped by occasion and by festival so a customer abroad can shop Dashain or Tihar in a few clicks. Orders are delivered by an in-house team across Kathmandu, Pokhara, Butwal, Bhairahawa, Bharatpur, Biratnagar, Dharan, Itahari, Birgunj and Nepalgunj. Alongside gifting, Muncha runs a money transfer service for Nepalis abroad and a ticketing arm, while the parent house still trades as a retail and wholesale business. Support runs 24/7, which matters when buyer and recipient are in different time zones.
