What Is MICE Tourism?

MICE stands for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions. It is a specialised sector of business tourism focused on professional gatherings, corporate travel and organised events.

Our MICE services can also support corporate retreats, training programmes, company celebrations, networking events and business delegations.

Our MICE Event Management Services in Nepal

Himalayan Dream Team provides local planning and logistical coordination for business events. The scope of service is agreed with the organiser according to the programme requirements and the capabilities of the selected venues and suppliers.

1. Conference and Meeting Venue Selection

Choosing a suitable venue is one of the most important decisions in planning a corporate event. We assist with identifying hotels, conference rooms and resorts that match the required capacity, seating arrangement, location and facilities.

Venue selection considers meeting room dimensions, accessibility, accommodation availability, audiovisual requirements, catering arrangements and the overall event budget.

2. Luxury Hotels and Group Accommodation

We arrange accommodation in suitable four-star, five-star and boutique properties, depending on availability and the requested standard.

Services may include room allocation, group reservations, rooming-list coordination, check-in arrangements and communication with the hotel's reservations team.

For multi-day conferences, selecting accommodation and meeting facilities within the same property can help simplify delegate transportation and daily scheduling.

3. Airport Meet-and-Greet and Private Transfers

Our arrival services can include airport reception, assistance with meeting the designated transport team and transfers to hotels or conference venues.

Depending on the group size, we arrange suitable private cars, vans, minibuses or coaches through local transportation providers.

For international conferences, we can coordinate arrivals and departures according to flight schedules and delegate travel information supplied by the organiser.

4. Conference Programme and Event Coordination

We assist with planning the daily programme and coordinating the local services required for meetings, conferences and corporate gatherings.

Depending on the agreed scope, this may include venue liaison, scheduling, registration-area arrangements, transport coordination, catering schedules and on-site logistical assistance.

Specialised conference production, interpretation and technical services can be arranged through suitable suppliers when requested and available.

5. Audiovisual and Technical Support

Conference equipment requirements vary according to the event. We coordinate with venues and technical suppliers regarding the availability of:

• Projectors, screens and presentation displays.
• Microphones and sound systems.
• Conference lighting and stage arrangements.
• Video conferencing and hybrid meeting facilities.
• Internet connectivity and technical support.
• Presentation laptops and related accessories.
• Backup equipment or connectivity where specifically arranged.

All equipment, technical specifications and associated charges are confirmed before the event.

6. Registration, Delegate Materials and Branding

We can assist with preparing delegate badges, welcome materials, printed programmes, signage, certificates and other event supplies.

Where requested, locally produced gifts and Nepalese handicrafts can be incorporated into delegate welcome packs or recognition ceremonies.

7. Catering, Business Lunches and Gala Dinners

Food and hospitality are important parts of any successful corporate gathering.

We coordinate with hotels and restaurants to arrange coffee breaks, working lunches, buffet meals, formal dinners and special group dining experiences.

Vegetarian, vegan and other dietary requirements can be communicated to the selected catering providers in advance.

8. Event Staffing and Local Support

Depending on the event requirements, we can coordinate reception personnel, local guides, transportation assistants, interpreters and other support services through suitable providers.

Staffing numbers, responsibilities and working schedules are determined according to the confirmed programme.

9. Event Safety and Contingency Planning

We assist organisers in considering practical arrangements for transportation, venue access, emergency contacts, weather-related disruptions and alternative activities.

Specialist security, medical or emergency-response services must be separately arranged when required.

Event organisers should also consider appropriate insurance and their own organisational risk-management requirements.

10. Post-Conference Tours and Incentive Experiences

After a conference or business meeting, delegates can enjoy optional sightseeing and travel experiences arranged around their available time.

These may include Kathmandu Valley heritage tours, short Himalayan hikes, scenic flights, cultural dining, Pokhara excursions or wildlife activities in Chitwan.

Best Destinations for MICE Tourism in Nepal

The ideal location depends on the purpose of the event, number of delegates, venue requirements and whether the programme focuses primarily on business meetings or incentive travel.

Luxury MICE Events in Kathmandu

Kathmandu is generally the most practical location for larger international meetings and conferences because of its airport connections, range of hotels and availability of professional event facilities.

Depending on event size and budget, organisers may consider established luxury and business hotels such as Kathmandu Marriott Hotel, Hyatt Regency Kathmandu, The Soaltee Kathmandu and other suitable properties.

Venue availability, current operating status, room capacity and technical facilities must be checked for the specific event dates.

Corporate programmes in Kathmandu can also include guided sightseeing in the UNESCO-listed Kathmandu Valley heritage areas.

Corporate Retreats in Pokhara, Nagarkot and Dhulikhel

For smaller meetings and executive retreats, a peaceful environment away from busy city schedules can provide an attractive setting.

Pokhara is suitable for incentive groups combining business meetings with lakeside relaxation, mountain views and outdoor experiences.

Nagarkot is a convenient option for short retreats and workshops near Kathmandu, particularly for groups seeking a quieter setting.

Dhulikhel offers a combination of resort accommodation, scenic surroundings and opportunities for short guided hikes.

These destinations are particularly suitable for leadership retreats, strategic planning sessions and team programmes where the number of delegates is manageable within the available venue facilities.

Corporate Incentive Tours and Team-Building Activities

A well-designed incentive programme should balance professional objectives, relaxation, cultural experiences and group activities.

We can arrange suitable activities according to delegate interests, age groups, physical abilities and available time.

Everest Mountain Flight – A Premium Corporate Experience

An Everest mountain flight is a memorable optional activity for corporate delegates who want to see the Himalayas without undertaking a multi-day trek.

Scenic fixed-wing flights generally operate in the morning when conditions are more favourable. The airborne portion is commonly around one hour, although the total excursion takes longer when hotel transfers, check-in and airport procedures are included.

Views depend on weather and visibility, and flights may be delayed, rescheduled or cancelled.

This activity is especially suitable for incentive groups with a free morning in Kathmandu.

Private Everest Helicopter Tours for Executive Groups

For small executive groups seeking an exclusive Himalayan experience, we can help arrange private helicopter tours through licensed aviation operators.

Depending on the approved route, weather and operational conditions, the experience may include scenic views of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam and the surrounding Khumbu region.

Helicopter tours generally require several hours for the full excursion. Passenger capacity, flight routing, landing permissions and stops depend on aircraft performance, altitude, weather and applicable aviation regulations.

Direct landings at Everest Base Camp should not be assumed or guaranteed.

Discover our Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour and Everest Helicopter Ride with Breakfast at Hotel Everest View. All flight arrangements are subject to current operational and regulatory conditions.

Nagarkot Sunrise and Dhulikhel Hiking Experiences

Nagarkot and Dhulikhel offer opportunities for short corporate excursions and outdoor activities close to Kathmandu.

A Nagarkot sunrise tour can be arranged as an early-morning excursion, with Himalayan views possible when the weather is clear.

For active groups, a guided hike between selected viewpoints and villages around Nagarkot and Dhulikhel provides opportunities to experience rural landscapes and local communities.

Walking times vary according to the selected route, terrain and group fitness. A full Nagarkot-to-Dhulikhel hike is more suitable for participants comfortable with several hours of walking.

Optional Adventure Activities for Corporate Groups

Adventure activities can be added to an incentive programme for interested participants, provided they are suitable for the group's fitness, health and risk requirements.

Possible options include rafting, paragliding, hiking and bungee jumping through appropriate specialist operators.

For example, the Bhote Koshi area has historically been known for bungee jumping and adventure activities. Current operating status, access, equipment standards and participant eligibility must be verified before offering this excursion.

Participation should always be optional, and alternative activities should be available for delegates who prefer a less physically demanding experience.

Sample 3-Day Corporate Conference in Kathmandu

This sample itinerary combines professional meeting arrangements with a short cultural programme. It can be adapted according to flight schedules, delegate numbers and conference requirements.

Sample 5-Day Nepal Corporate Incentive Tour

This programme is suitable for organisations rewarding employees, partners or high-performing teams with a combination of comfort, culture and Himalayan scenery.

Planning note: International departure connections should allow sufficient time for domestic travel delays. An additional night in Kathmandu may be recommended.
