Interest in gaming is on the rise in Nepal. The widespread availability of smartphones and internet access across the country has made games a popular pass-time for many people. Young people prefer playing with friends in multiplayer environments, while older generations play single-player games like Candy Crush, Clash Royal and card games. This curiosity among the youth has sparked an interest in other gaming platforms that had faded once because of unreliable circumstances.
PC gaming is on the comeback as well. The times of long and dark power cuts are over, and electricity has mostly been reliable for a while. As a cornerstone of PC gaming, Steam is the crowd favorite, with Epic Games being a strong contender with its free giveaways. People team up with friends and strangers in multiplayer games like CounterStrike, Dota, Valorant, and PUBG. There is also no shortage of offline single player games.
But paying for games online has always been a hassle. International payments are not easily accessible. Gamers cannot buy gift cards/ credit on Steam directly in Nepal without going through a lot of hoops. They have to buy them through an intermediary. This comes with a lot of risk of being scammed. We are going to list the ones that we have used and can attest to their authenticity.
Pas.al
Pasal is my favorite. The prices are affordable, and the staff are pleasant and walk you through each step of the process. I have bought multiple gift cards, including Steam and Apple gift cards, through them, and they have always been awesome.
They are little old school as they take their orders through Facebook and you get the codes directly in your messages. It may seem out of the ordinary or even suspicious, but their explanation is that with the constant change in foreign exchanges, they cannot keep a static rate. Also, you do not need to create an additional account somewhere, and risk your personal information getting leaked.

Premium Nepal
Premium Nepal is second on the list. They have fair prices and are genuine sellers. These are good for Steam gift cards and other digital offerings like subscriptions, tools, and keys. You should really check out what they are offering.
WordPress and WooCommerce handle the purchasing process, and they support both E-Sewa and Khalti payment gateways. But their website can be a little messy and broken.

Codashop
The last one is Codashop. It is an international retailer with support for the ESewa Nepali online payment system. You may already know this, as this site is quite old and popular among Nepali gamers. They offer credits for mobile games and Steam gift cards. The preferred method of payment is ESewa, so many will feel comfortable using this.
They work directly with the publishers of Mobile Legends, PUBG Mobile, Free Fire, APEX Legends Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile and more, to enable a seamless purchase experience: You don’t need to sign up or login, and the site adds game credits to your account instantly.
