During the event, B2B and networking sessions among hotel, travel, and tour entrepreneurs from Nepal and China took place. Speaking on the occasion, Consul General Mr. Bharat Khanal said that a networking event like this will be an opportunity to build on our collective commitment and action to bring our two countries and peoples together through tourism.
According to Khanal, Nepal, cradled in the Himalayas, is a place where snow-capped peaks reach the sky, ancient temples whisper tales of millennia, and lush valleys pulse with life. The endless ridges of the snowy mountains, the bright green in every direction, and the flowing rivers, streams, and every corner of the forest attract everyone. From the majestic Mount Qomolangma to the serene lakes of Pokhara, the landscapes are a testament to nature's grandeur.

Today, over 40 travel agencies from Guangdong and 15 from Nepal join us—a testament to our shared vision. Let us seize this moment to forge partnerships that transcend borders, creating journeys that inspire and unite.
