Kathmandu Jaycees, established in 1970, organized the first Miss Nepal Beauty Pageant in 1994, under the Chairmanship of the then president of Kathmandu Jaycees Sen. Gopal Sundar Lal Kakshapati and Project Committee Chairman Jc. Rupesh Pradhan.

Till then, Nepal remained unrepresented in the international beauty pageants. In 1995, to give the Miss Nepal pageant a more professional approach, senior members of Kathmandu Jaycees who was involved in organizing first Miss Nepal Pageant established The Hidden Treasure, which now annually organizes Miss Nepal Pageants. Some of the revenue generated from Miss Nepal Pageants has been used in the various community development projects of JCI Kathmandu-Nepal.

[edit] Trivia

NepaliAmir writes in Missosology “.”

Kathmandu Jaycees was established in 1970, they first organized Miss Nepal beauty pageant in 1994 on the special occasion of Kathmandu Jacyees Silver Jubliee.

Miss Nepal’s main objective rests on two pillars; personality and leadership development. In 1995, to give the Miss Nepal pageant a more professional approach, senior members of Kathmandu Jaycees who was involved in organizing first Miss Nepal Pageant established The Hidden Treasure, which now annually organizes Miss Nepal Pageants.

[edit] Interesting Facts:

Out of 18 Edition of Miss Nepal beauty pageant held 11 times Kathmandu District's representative has won the crown and has placed numerous times in top 5 finalists.

11 crowns: Kathmandu

2 crowns: Lalitpur & Parsa

1 crown: Kaski, Sunsari, Chitwan

Till 2012 there had been no Miss Nepal from the Northern or Mid-Western Region of Nepal.

Most people in Nepal consider Jharana Bajracharya as Miss Nepal 1997 inplace of Neelima Gurung who was the official Kathmandu Jacyees Miss Nepal 1997.

In 2001, the pageant was cancelled because of the Nepalese royal massacre. And in both 2006 & 2008 the pageant was cancelled because of the threats from the Maoists Feminists Groups.

From 2012 onward; all the 3 title holders of Miss Nepal World, Miss Nepal Earth and Miss Nepal International have been announced as equal three winners with no runners up unlike the past.

Even after 15 years of debut in Miss World beauty contest; Nepal still hasn't manage to get a placement in this pageant

Miss Nepal organisation doesn't have enough fund to send a representative to Miss Universe.

Jharana was only 16 when she participate in Miss World 1997. It's a shame she wasn't funded with good styling. She is one of the most famous actresses in Nepal.

-[http://www.worldlatestnews.com/world-news/miss-nepal-hopes-to-outsmart-maoists-by-dropping-dabur-tag-73725 Sudeshna Sarkar/ WorldLatestNews] wrote in 2009:
-When the Maoist government fell in May, the Hidden Treasure, the event management company franchised to hold the pageant, announced the show would be resumed. The Maoists, now in the opposition, said they would oppose it but did not succeed.
-The Dabur Vatika Miss Nepal contest, which was sponsored by Indian ayurvedic product manufacturer Dabur was repositioned as the Fem Miss Nepal 2009 pageant in a bid to downplay the role of the Indian company that the Maoists have been pressuring the pageant organisers to replace.
-In June 2009, the Dabur India board approved the acquisition of Fem Care Pharma Ltd, mainly known for its bleaching and depilatory products.
-Given just about three weeks’ time to organise the event, the Hidden Treasure has downscaled the hoopla to hold the grand finale in the army club instead of the stately Birendra International Convention Centre, where it was held in the past.
-At the time it was reported that for the first time a Muslim contestant was shortlisted to take part in the finals. This is not correct because Jharana Bajracharya Rashid had been selected Miss Nepal twelve years before, in 1997.
-===The winners were===
