Gold rate in Bhutan — local context
The ngultrum is pegged 1:1 to the Indian rupee and most of Bhutan’s gold is imported via India, so local rates track the Indian market closely. The figure shown excludes Indian import duty and GST.
The figures above are the international gold price converted to BTN at today’s exchange rate. They do not include local import duty, VAT or GST, so the price at a jeweller in Bhutan is typically higher — by a few percent in the low-tax Gulf markets, and by 10–20% in markets with a heavy duty such as Nepal, Bangladesh or Pakistan.
Frequently asked questions
What is the gold price in Bhutan today?
As of 9 Sep 2026, the indicative 24K gold rate in Bhutan is about Nu. 13,547 per gram and Nu. 135,470 per 10 grams; 22K is about Nu. 124,091 per 10 grams. Rates update through the day and exclude jeweller making charges.
Is Bhutan gold cheaper than in India?
Usually yes for the metal itself — Bhutan prices exclude India’s import duty and 3% GST, so bars and coins are a few percent cheaper. Bringing gold into India above the customs allowance attracts duty, so the saving narrows once you account for that.
What will gold prices be tomorrow?
No one can reliably predict the next day’s gold price. It moves with the international gold price, the US dollar and safe-haven demand. This page updates through the day.
