The short answer
Yes. Kathmandu has hosted regional and international meetings for decades, and the city has convention halls, hotel ballrooms and a wide range of hotels. Pokhara has its own conference facilities, and hill resorts near Kathmandu such as Nagarkot and Dhulikhel host smaller meetings and retreats.
For groups, Nepal offers pre- and post-meeting tours: temples, mountain flights, a jungle stay or a lake day. Indian companies can bring staff without a visa, which simplifies planning. Venue capacities and facilities change, so ask for current details from the operator or venue.
