The Embassy of Nepal in New Delhi is looking for Indian travel creators, vloggers, podcasters, and social media influencers to join a familiarisation trip to Nepal. The initiative aims to promote Nepal as an easy and welcoming destination for Indian travellers.
According to the official notice released on May 20, 2026, the embassy plans to select five Indian content creators for the trip. The selected participants will travel across Nepal and create digital content showcasing the country’s tourism experiences.
Nepal Familiarisation Trip Aims to Boost Indian Tourism
The programme focuses on promoting Nepal’s mountains, lakes, heritage sites, temples, festivals, local food, wellness tourism, and adventure activities. The embassy says the trip is designed to encourage more Indians to visit Nepal for:
- Leisure travel
- Pilgrimage tourism
- Adventure holidays
- Wellness retreats
- Family vacations
- Cultural experiences
Nepal remains one of the easiest international destinations for Indian citizens to visit. Indians do not need a visa to enter Nepal, which already makes it a popular choice for short international trips.
Eligibility Criteria for Indian Influencers and Travel Creators
The embassy has invited applications from Indian nationals and India-based digital creators who already have an active presence online. Applicants should:
- Be active on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X, or other digital platforms
- Create travel, lifestyle, culture, food, spirituality, tourism, or wellness content
- Have an engaged audience, especially among Indian travellers
- Be comfortable producing videos, reels, stories, podcasts, or vlogs
- Follow responsible tourism and cultural sensitivity practices
The embassy also mentioned that creators working in English, Hindi, or regional Indian languages are welcome to apply.
Content Requirements for Selected Nepal Trip Participants
Participants selected for the Nepal familiarisation trip will be expected to publish content based on their travel experience. This may include:
- Travel vlogs
- Instagram reels and stories
- YouTube shorts
- Podcasts
- Social media posts
- Practical travel tips for Indian tourists
The embassy may also reshare selected content with proper credit.
How the Nepal Embassy Will Select Indian Travel Influencers
The embassy says creators will be shortlisted based on several factors, including:
- Quality of previous content
- Audience reach and engagement
- Creativity and storytelling ability
- Tourism-related work experience
- Ability to connect with Indian audiences
The focus appears to be on creators who can present Nepal in an authentic and relatable way rather than simply having massive follower counts.
Documents Required to Apply for Nepal Influencer Trip
Interested creators need to submit:
- Full name and nationality
- Contact details and email address
- Social media handles and platform links
- Follower count and engagement details
- Previous tourism or travel work samples
- A short note explaining why they want to join the trip
- Content ideas for promoting Nepal to Indian audiences
Nepal Influencer Trip Application Deadline and Submission Details
Applications must be submitted by May 30, 2026. Applicants can send their entries to:
The email subject line should read: Application for Nepal Familiarisation Trip for Influencers
The embassy said travel dates, itinerary details, and logistics will be shared directly with selected participants later.
No New Restrictions for Indian Tourists
In another update for Indian visitors, the Nepal Tourism Board recently denied viral allegations of additional restrictions on Indian tourists. Officials verified that there are no changes to the current India-Nepal travel arrangements or tourist stay guidelines.
Why Nepal Is Targeting Indian Travel Influencers and Content Creators
Tourism boards across Asia are increasingly working with digital creators to attract younger travellers. Nepal’s latest campaign clearly targets Indian tourists who often look for nearby, affordable international destinations with spiritual, cultural, and adventure experiences.
For creators, this could be a rare chance to explore Nepal through an official tourism programme while building fresh travel content for Indian audiences.
