Filming in Nepal

Unlock the Cinematic Wonders of Nepal with Euro Asia Treks: Your Gateway to Filming in Nepal Excellence

Nepal, with its awe-inspiring landscapes, diverse cultures, and climatic wonders, stands as a prime destination for filmmakers globally. From Hollywood hits like “Little Buddha” and “Golden Child” to the Oscar-nominated “Caravan” shot exclusively in the remote Dolpa region; Nepal has been a canvas for cinematic brilliance. The globally acclaimed IMAX production of “Everest” further emphasized the cinematic potential that Nepal offers. Beyond the Himalayan peaks, Nepal provides abundant opportunities for filming in rafting, kayaking, biking, and various adventure sports against enchanting backdrops.

Key Facts About Filming in Nepal

1. Permission and Royalty: Film production units must apply for permission at the Ministry of Communication, detailing sequences and seeking permit extensions if necessary. Royalties ranging from $1000 to $1500 for feature films and $100 to $500 for other genres apply.
2. Insurance and Liaison Officer: Film companies need insurance policies for liaison officers, and the presence of a liaison officer is mandatory during filming. Approval from the Royal Nepalese Diplomatic Office is required for sequences filmed in Nepal.
3. Licensing Procedures: Licensing involves submitting necessary documents such as the application form, story synopsis, crew details, equipment list, and consent letters from concerned organizations.
4. Nepal Tourism Board Support: For productions promoting Nepal, the Nepal Tourism Board can assist in shooting documentaries. Detailed scripts or themes can expedite the process, making it faster and cost-effective.
