Concentration shows where trade value sits; it does not by itself explain why flows changed.

Customs routes · Bhadra-only

Rasuwa fell sharply while Mustang surged.

This is a descriptive movement signal derived from consecutive cumulative workbooks.

Mustang · ShrawanRs 0.59Bmonthly imports

Read carefully: the Customs workbook shows the route redistribution, but by itself does not establish the cause.

How this report was produced

Cumulative figures come from the Department of Customs Bhadra workbook, covering Shrawan–Bhadra FY 2083/84. Bhadra-only movement is calculated by subtracting the Shrawan cumulative workbook.

TradePulse Nepal is an independent public-data project. Figures are rounded for presentation; the official workbook remains the authoritative record.

Rasuwa flood relief

Support recovery after the Bhote Koshi flood

On 26 August 2026, a major Bhote Koshi flood struck Rasuwa and downstream districts, causing severe loss and damaging settlements and infrastructure. The disaster also disrupted the Rasuwagadhi corridor, an important northern trade route. Relief and rehabilitation work continues.
