Miss Nepal (Nepali: मिस नेपाल) is a national beauty pageant in Nepal. The winners are sent to Miss World, Miss Earth, Miss International.
History
From the first pageant in 1994, the winner of the Miss Nepal has represented Nepal at Miss Asia Pacific. After 1997, the Hidden Treasures collaborated with Kathmandu Jaycees and formed two pageants of Kathmandu Jacyees Miss Nepal and Hidden Treasures Miss World Nepal. From 1998 onwards, the winner of Miss Nepal has been sent to Miss World contest and the first runner-up to Miss Asia Pacific. No contest was held in 2001 due to the Nepalese royal massacre.[citation needed]
From 2004, the second runner-up represented represent Nepal at Miss Earth. This changed in 2005, to first runner-up, as they stopped sending them to Miss Asia Pacific. From 2010, the second runner-up was sent to Miss International. Since 2011 onwards; the names of the third and fourth runner-up were revealed while announcing the names of the winners on the coronation night. The Hidden Treasure reacquired the franchise of Miss Asia Pacific International (2016-2017). In 2017, Hidden Treasure acquired Miss Universe franchise and directly nominated Nagma Shrestha as the First Miss Universe Nepal 2017, because she had contacted the Miss Universe and obtained license on the behalf of the Hidden Treasure.[1] From 2018 onwards, all four winners are of equal position with no runner-ups.[2]
As the press announcement of Miss Nepal 2020 by Hidden Treasure, Miss Nepal 2020 will air live on Kantipur TV. This was the first time Miss Nepal would telecast on another national television after dropping the contract with Nepal Television. Hidden Treasure also announced that they no longer had the Miss Universe franchise so there will have only four winners for this years. The price money has been increased from NRS 100000 to NRS 250000 each for all winners. The organizer announced on 20 March 2020, that the contest has been postponed due to the (COVID-19) pandemic, as informed by Chairman of Hidden Treasure Mr. Driwakar Rajkarnikar. Later the pageant was conducted on 5 December 2020. [citation needed]
In 2022, Miss Nepal lost the franchise of Miss Supranational. Now, Mister and Miss National Nepal (Santosh Upadhyaya Directorship) sends Nepalese delegates to Supranational pageant.[3]
Competition
Since 1994, women from 19–24 years old compete at the national pageant, Miss Nepal. 25 contestants are chosen from across the country and they begin a one-month training and grooming course before the final event in which they participate in lectures, social work, photoshoots, interviews and etiquette lessons. On the coronation night, which lasts up to three hours, all the candidates engage in an opening sequence, introduction speech (after which the top 12 semi-finalists are chosen who then compete in an interview portion with the judges), and an evening gown sequence, where the 5 finalists are chosen. This is when the final common question and answer round is held. At the end, the names of five winners are announced from a live telecast on Nepal Television.

Miss Hong Kong Nepal
Miss Nepal Hong Kong was held in 1998 in favor of giving a platform for Nepalese teenagers to women in Hong Kong to build up their confidence and self-esteem. Factually, since Hong Kong's life is hectic and also because of internal issues, Miss Nepal Hong Kong has had ups and downs: 1998 (was held), 1999 (canceled), 2000 (was held), 2001 (was held), 2002, 2003, 2004 (canceled), 2005 (was held). Consequently, Miss Talent Hunt Hong Kong Nepal (Mega Model) was replaced by Miss Nepal Hong Kong from 2006 to 2009 organized by Laxmi Rai (Lara), Mamita Gurung (Miss Hong Kong Nepal 2000), and Tara Subbha. It followed up organizers from 2008 (Basanti Pun and Sushmita Gurung) because of some internal issues. However, in 2010 since Miss Talent Hunt HK Nepal was transformed into an international pageant, it withdrew itself from Miss Nepal Hong Kong. After a long decades, fortunately, in 2011, the 5th Miss Nepal Hong Kong was held on 3 August 2011.[62]
