Verified Companions in Nepalgunjनेपालगन्ज
Nepalgunj — the hottest city in Nepal — sits on the Indian border in the mid-western Terai, serving as the gateway to Bardia National Park (the wildest of Nepal's tiger reserves), the Khaptad plateau, and the trekking routes of the far-western Himalaya including Rara Lake and Api Nampa. The city itself has a strong Muslim and Tharu influence, with one of the most authentic bazaars in the country — small lanes of spice merchants, brass shops, and sweet-makers selling jalebi and imarti fresh from the karahi. A verified Nepalgunj companion can take you to the sacred Bageshwari Temple with its adjacent pond of turtles, to the local Carnivore Restaurant for the famous Nepalgunj mutton sekuwa, on a day trip to Bardia for tiger tracking, or simply help you organise the complex onward jeep and flight connections to remote western Nepal. The heat here is serious — come in winter (Nov–Feb) for the best experience.

Hiring a companion in Nepalgunj — what you should know
Are all Nepalgunj companions verified?
Companions with a blue badge have completed our paid identity verification: they uploaded a government-issued ID (citizenship/passport/NID), a live selfie, and an AI face-match confirmed their identity. Admin reviews and approves manually. Look for the badge — but note that verification confirms identity, not character. Always exercise normal judgement.
How much does a Nepalgunj companion cost?
Companions set their own hourly rates — typically Rs. 500–2,000 per hour depending on their experience, languages spoken, and the type of activity. City tours tend to be cheaper than specialist trekking or photography guides. You'll see the rate on each companion's profile.
How do payments work?
Pay securely via eSewa, Khalti, ConnectIPS, NepalPay, FonePay QR, or Nepali mobile banking (NIC Asia, Global IME, Nabil). Your payment is held in escrow by SangiNepal and released to the companion only after your booking ends — so your money is protected if anything goes wrong.
Can I book the same companion again?
Yes — and we encourage it! If you book the same companion again within 30 days, you automatically get a 10% loyalty discount applied at checkout. Look for the green “Repeat client” banner when reviewing your booking.
