Kathmandu – Daksh International has officially announced a new edition of its prestigious beauty pageant, “Miss & Mrs. Beautiful Nepal 2026,” which has been successfully organized for many years. The announcement was made during a press conference held at City Center, Kathmandu.
Addressing the media, Tek Raj Pandey, President of Daksh International and a renowned celebrity makeup artist, stated that this year’s edition will be grander, better organized, and more impactful than previous editions.
Pandey emphasized that a beauty pageant is not merely a competition for a crown but a powerful platform for personality development, confidence building, and creating new opportunities in life. He noted that Daksh International has been providing women with opportunities to showcase their talents for over a decade and has played a significant role in helping many participants gain recognition at both national and international levels.
This year marks the 11th edition of Miss Beautiful Nepal and the 10th edition of Mrs. Beautiful Nepal. The audition and selection process will begin on July 4, while the grand finale is scheduled to take place on August 14 at the Rastriya Nachghar (National Theatre).
The press conference was attended by senior actor Dhiren Shakya, veteran singer Anand Karki, official choreographer Ashwini Kant Jha, social activist Ramesh Budhathoki, healthcare entrepreneur and philanthropist Prahlad Chauhan, official makeup partner Chanda Pun, fashion designer Dina Gurung, photographer Badri Thapa, and legal advisor Swagat Nepal, among others. Certificates of appreciation were also presented to last year’s winners during the event.
According to the organizers, participants will gain much more than runway skills. They will receive valuable life skills and knowledge through an intensive month-long training program conducted by international-level trainers and experts. The training will focus on personality development, leadership skills, public speaking, communication skills, confidence building, fashion and grooming, social responsibility, and other essential areas.
The organizers believe that in today’s competitive world, it is not enough for women to simply look beautiful; they must also be capable, self-reliant, and strong leaders. With this vision, the pageant is being promoted as a campaign for women’s empowerment.
Participants will have the opportunity to showcase their talents, explore new career prospects, and build a strong foundation for success in various fields. Open to both married and unmarried women, the competition aims to help participants build their identities, expand their social and professional networks, and establish themselves on national and international platforms.
The organizers shared that for many women, the pageant has served as a life-changing experience by boosting confidence, inspiring dreams, and creating positive transformations. Previous editions have produced successful individuals in modeling, acting, entrepreneurship, social leadership, and various professional sectors.
Continuing this successful legacy, Miss & Mrs. Beautiful Nepal 2026 is expected to discover new talents, create new opportunities, and inspire new success stories.
Recognized as a unique blend of beauty, personality, talent, and confidence, the competition is once again expected to provide an exceptional platform for women to showcase their abilities.
For this year’s event, Gita Upreti has been appointed as the Event Manager, Megh Bahadur Bishwakarma (Meghendra) as the Marketing Manager, and Kavita Thapa as the Coordinator. The competition will also be broadcast live through various television channels.
