The Festival

Where the world meets Nepal

September 25–27, 2026 in Pokhara, Nepal. Three days of building, living and exploring with entrepreneurs, creators, founders, investors and digital nomads.

Who it's for

You don't have to be a full-time nomad

  • Digital nomads
  • Entrepreneurs
  • Startup founders
  • Creators
  • Freelancers
  • Investors
  • Tourism professionals
  • Remote workers
  • Students & emerging professionals

How it works

    Day 1

    Build

    Technology • AI • Startups • Creators • Remote work

    Dive into founder and investor-led sessions on technology, AI, and the startups shaping how the world works remotely. Meet investors, pitch your ideas, connect with entrepreneurs from around the world, and build the relationships that could turn your next idea into reality.

    Day 3

    Explore

    Connect with tourism leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, and local businesses through conversations on the future of travel, curated partnership meetings, and investment opportunities in Nepal. End the journey with a special World Tourism Day celebration in the heart of the Himalayas.

How we run it

What makes this different

  • A working festival, not a trade show

    No booth crawl. Sessions are built to be used — you should leave with something you can act on, not a tote bag.

  • Small enough to actually meet people

    The value is in running into the same faces across three days. We keep it at a size where that happens naturally.

  • Nepal is the point, not the backdrop

    The country is part of the programme. You'll spend time in it, not just look at it through a conference-room window.

  • Built with local operators

    Accommodation, transfers and experiences run through Nepali partners. The money stays in Pokhara.

Nomads Basecamp is organised by Saarang Services Pvt. Ltd., based in Nepal.
