Nepal Tourism Board — Attraction in Kathmandu Metropolitan City

Nepal Tourism Board is a national tourism organization of Nepal established in 1998 by an Act of Parliament in the form of partnership between the Government of Nepal and private sector tourism industry to develop and market Nepal as an attractive tourist destination. The Board provides platform for vision-drawn leadership for Nepal’s tourism sector by integrating Government commitment with the dynamism of private sector.

NTB is promoting Nepal in the domestic and international market and is working toward positioning the image of the country. It also aims to regulate product development activities. Fund for NTB is collected in the form of Tourist Service Fee from departing foreign passengers at the Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu, thus keeping it financially independent. The Board chaired by the Secretary at the Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation consists of 11 Board Members with five Government representatives, five private sector representatives and the Chief Executive Officer.

In the spring of 2015, Nepal suffered a devastating earthquake that took more than 8,000 lives. Much property and heritage was lost in the disaster, but so much more remains untouched. Nepal Now is a response to that very disaster, in that we seek to provide you with a true picture of Nepal as it stands. Despite widespread media coverage of the earthquake, we would like to reassure you that we Nepalis and Nepal remain strong and standing.

Everytime I visit the office, I generally have a good experience. The authorities, the receptionist, the staff, everybody is quite cordial.

However, I really don't like the behaviour of one individual by the name Ganesh, which I think also holds a good position in the office. He would always discourage independent trekking and would MISLEAD and MISGUIDE people. He keeps sharing his own hotel's visiting card and keeps selling packages.

I would like to share the incident that happened on 15th March 2021. He told me that post Covid, no independent trekker is allowed in any national park and taking a guide with you is COMPULSORY. He further added that even if you have a covid negative report, you still would have to do a test again in Nepal before you head for the trek.
