About Kathmandu: September 2011

The history of Miss Nepal is not that old which began on 1994 A.D. on the special occasion of Kathmandu Jaycees Silver Jubilee. Miss Nepal's objective rests on two pillars: personality and leadership development. The organizer's are basically in search of a personality that combines beauty, brain, confidence and a positive mind and one who will be able to present Nepal as its worthy ambassador to the outside world. A strong Miss Nepal must also possess interests in empowering women, engage in social service and in promoting issues related to women. In 1995, to give the Miss Nepal pageant a more professional approach, senior members of Kathmandu Jaycees who was involved in organizing first Miss Nepal Pageant established The Hidden Treasure, which now annually organizes Miss Nepal Pageants. Some of the revenue generated from Miss Nepal Pageants has been meaningfully used in the various community development projects of JCI Kathmandu-Nepal.
