Himalayan Travel Mart from June 3

Kathmandu: The 5th edition of the Himalayan Travel Mart (HTM) is scheduled to take place from June 3 to 5 in Kathmandu.

The PATA Nepal Chapter is hosting Nepal’s premier international travel and tourism trade show in collaboration with the Nepal Tourism Board, Nepal Airlines, and other prominent tourism associations and partner organisations at both national and international levels.

This year’s edition of HTM holds special significance as it coincides with the Golden Jubilee year of the PATA Nepal Chapter, celebrating 50 years of impactful contributions to Nepal’s tourism development and global connectivity.

Additionally, the inauguration day marks a historic milestone—the 75th Anniversary of the first ascent of Mount Annapurna by the legendary French mountaineer Maurice Herzog, whose family is visiting Nepal to honour this legacy, according to a press release issued by PATA Nepal Chapter in Kathmandu on Monday.

Held annually in June in Kathmandu, HTM is Nepal’s flagship international tourism trade show, fostering unparalleled networking, business opportunities, and valuable industry insights among global tourism and hospitality organisations, professionals, and individuals engaged in diverse industry sectors.

The 5th edition of HTM 2025 will bring together a remarkable gathering of global buyers, diverse sellers, travel bloggers, influencers, thought leaders, high-profile speakers, national and international media, travel professionals, and delegates from around the world.

Organisers are expecting over 700 delegates from more than 30 countries, including more than 100 international guests, and a large representation from Nepal’s public and private tourism sectors.

With the overarching theme and vision of positioning “Nepal: Gateway to the Himalayas,” HTM aims to establish Nepal as a premier, year-round travel destination while creating value for all stakeholders through a dynamic platform for promotion, dialogue, and partnership.

This year, HTM will focus on enhancing insightful conference sessions, destination marketing, and mutually rewarding B2B opportunities between registered sellers and hosted buyers, adds the release.
