Some of the major reasons why Nepal can be the best fit for your next MICE destination are:

Best venue for any kind of event:

Since successfully hosting the third SAARC Summit, the annual gathering of the Heads of State or Government of the South Asian region, in Kathmandu in 1987, Nepal has earned a reputation as a premier conference location. Since then, a great number of regional and international congregations have selected Nepal as the location for their conference, partly because it is the top MICE destination in Asia. Besides, everything you might possibly need to host a world-class caucus effectively is available here, from a prime location to first-rate infrastructure, extensive high-tech convention facilities, and the amount of know-how required to successfully stage international events. A conference, seminar, or special incentive need not be hosted in Kathmandu, the nation’s capital. A seminar or conference in the mountains of Jomsom, the hill resort of Nagarkot or Dhulikhel, the lake city of Pokhara, or the plains of Biratnagar or Birgunj can be an unforgettable experience given Nepal’s scenic splendors and distinctive blend of cultures.

Easily affordable:

Since 1993, the value of 1 Nepalese rupee (NPR) is equal to 1.6 Indian rupees (INR). The current exchange rate ( 16/10/2022) of NRP to USD is around $1= 131.8648 Nepalese Rupee. Hence, Nepal has consistently ranked as the top host location for the meetings and incentives sector due to its affordability and good standard of accommodations.

Excellent courtesy:

Nepal has a diverse ethnic, linguistic, and cultural population. Nepalese people are kind people who take pride in their national and ethnic heritage. They are often traditional and conservative by nature. The hospitality of Nepalese people that they carry throughout your journey is what distinguishes them.

Historic junction:

The major cities of Nepal like Pokhara, Chitwan, and Biratnagar due to their natural beauty and cultural significance, were meeting places for outsiders long before convention halls and five-star hotels. Talking about Kathmandu, the lucrative trans-Himalayan trade made it a crucial meeting place for the interchange of ideas as well as merchandise. Today, these cities of Nepal offer delegates a selection of fascinating pre-and post-conference tours and boast meeting spaces of an international grade, ensuring the success and satisfaction of any caucus.

Telecommunication services:

The telecommunications infrastructure in Kathmandu and other significant cities like Pokhara, Biratnagar, Birgunj, Bhairahawa, and Nepalgunj is generally good. Even outside of big cities, the quality of telephone service is really good and in the remote areas of Nepal, it is getting better. Nepal’s large hotels have business centers with phones, fax, email, and internet access. In Nepal, a collect call service is not offered. There is an internet connection available, and getting telecommunications services in Nepal is simple and economical because they are typically less expensive than in other nations.

Connectivity:

The majority of hotels and inns provide WiFi for a smooth internet connection. Free WiFi has also been made available in several regions of Kathmandu, Pokhara, and other significant cities, making it easier to conduct business conferences virtually. Likewise, using a local sim you may also be able to connect to 4G and 5G.
