Nikon, the Tokyo-based Japanese giant renowned for optics and imaging technology, remains a significant player in Nepal's camera market even without formal local distribution. Enthusiasts and professionals seeking Nikon equipment must currently rely on gray-market imports, primarily through New Road and other wholesale hubs in Kathmandu. While this lacks official warranty and service support, demand remains steady, with pricing generally mirroring global rates.
