About Mr Nepal

Nepal's flagship male-pageant platform, crowning ambassadors of style, substance, and global distinction since 2001.

Who We Are

Nepal's premier platform for discovering and developing exceptional men who represent our nation with pride and distinction.

Mr Nepal is the country's flagship male-pageant platform—founded in 2001 and now produced by Next Models Nepal in Kathmandu. Each year we crown the men who will carry Nepal's voice to global stages such as Mister World, Mister Global and Man of the World.

We fuse high-fashion presentation, public-speaking mastery and measurable community impact into one gold standard.
