On March 10, gold hit a historic high at Rs 126,000 per tola. However, breaking this record, the price of gold surged even further on Thursday, shattering previous benchmarks.

According to the Federation of Nepal Gold and Silver Dealers’ Associations, the price of fine gold experienced a substantial increase of Rs 2,600 per tola, soaring to Rs 127,800 per tola on Thursday, compared to Rs 125,200 per tola just a day earlier.
