What is the currency of Nepal?

[Kags]

As I plan to visit Nepal soon (not sure when) I need to find out what the currency of Nepal is?

Are Indian rupees accepted there as well?

Nepelese Rupee is used in Nepal. Indian currency is widely accepted.

 

[iamawriter]

For every Indian Rupee one gets 1.60 Nepalese Rupees. Indians feel quite comfortable shopping there. We cannot say that when we visit the USA. The current rate is Rs. 63.68 = one dollar.
Do not forget to buy Rudraksha seeds which have a great significance specially the five faced one.

Its a good thing that Indian currency is accepted there, but what would be the exchange rate they give, good or bad. I know it differs from place to place, like if we pay with card its different than getting it exchanged at an exchange currency place etc.
