Can I hold a wedding or celebration in Nepal?

By Base Camp Tours, licensed Nepal travel agency (Tourism License 3121/080) · Updated · 1 min read

The short answer

Yes. Hotels, resorts and garden venues in Kathmandu, Pokhara and the Terai host weddings, receptions and anniversaries, and some couples choose a symbolic ceremony with mountain views. Hindu and Buddhist ceremonies have their own customs, so work with a planner who knows local practice.

Check legal requirements for marriage with the relevant authority well in advance, and book venues early for peak wedding dates.
