CONVENTIONS

Nepal is the ideal location for conferences. Within a decade, this Himalayan kingdom has become the favorite for MICE tourism. This is especially true for Asian companies as distances are small, cost is low and there is much to do besides holding meetings. Nepal offers a host of recreational facilities including four casinos, bowling alleys, discotheques, sight seeing tours, mountain-viewing, rafting and safari trips, etc. besides the state of the art facilities for conferencing.

World-class amenities coupled with five-star accommodation makes conferencing a pleasure in Nepal. Conventions can be organized not only in the capital city but also in the beautiful setting of the Pokhara valley with the Annapurna range as a permanent backdrop. Nepal is a land where a company and its employees can relax, revitalize, confer and relax again.  Kathmandu and Pokhara have already carved a niche in the business community with their international standard conference facilities that can cater to any needs. Nepal offers the perfect incentive to company executives and employees without burdening the company’s coffers.
