The Ascent Summit 2026

The Ascent Summit 2026

If you’ve ever wondered why expedition logistics look like a game of high-altitude Tetris, or how we can ensure the future of mountain tourism doesn’t involve a Starbucks at the South Col, this conversation is for you. It’s an elite gathering of professionals and individuals who care about the big rock we call Sagarmatha and the people who make the climb possible.

Framing Ghandruk on Canvas

For a week, 35 second-year BFA students from Kathmandu University’s Department of Art and Design traded the structured studios of Hattiban for the cobblestone alleys of Kaski. Under the guidance of faculty members Nabendra Limbu and Gopal Ale Magar, this educational art tour wasn’t merely about capturing the dramatic shadows of Machhapuchhre or the crisp morning posture of Annapurna South.

Entrepreneurship & Innovation Challenge Program

The goal? To help you build market-ready ventures. The real goal? To make sure that while you scale your brilliant startup, you also happen to buy more American products, hire United States-affiliated mentors, and adopt American business practices. It’s a win-win: you get to chase the ultimate dream of economic growth and job creation, and Uncle Sam expands the market for American tech platforms and services. Synergy at its finest!

The Great Citizenship Caper

The Great Citizenship Caper

It appears that being Nepali is no longer just about your love for momo or your ability to endure a 14-hour bus ride; it’s now a complex legal thriller involving constitutional amendments and the mysterious "Commitment Paper 2082". If you’ve been losing sleep wondering if your identity is about to become as "complicated" as a Kathmandu traffic jam, the NRNA UK has heard your silent prayers. We’ve always known who we are, but apparently, the paperwork needs a bit more convincing.

Find The Writer Within You

Find The Writer Within You

This cohort is open to anyone with a passion for writing, which is basically anyone who has ever felt a "vibe" and thought, I should tweet that. No prior experience is required, though it is "helpful"—much like having a map is "helpful" when navigating the alleys of Patan, but not strictly mandatory if you enjoy getting lost.

The highlight of this event is the strict 29+ age limit. This isn't just a rule; it’s a public service. It ensures you won’t accidentally spend your evening explaining what a "pension plan" is to a Gen-Z TikToker. This is a space for adults who have realized that while our roads take decades to widen, their biological clocks are moving at Mach 1 speed. It’s an academic exit from the shallow end of the dating pool.

International Nail Seminar

International Nail Seminar

If you thought the only "international seminars" happening in Lalitpur involved graying diplomats discussing "sustainable development" over cold samosas, think again. The real revolution is happening at the International Nail Seminar, and this time, the stakes are much higher than a budget allocation—we’re talking about the structural integrity of your gel extensions.
