The Venue: Royal Tulip Kathmandu
CAC Nepal 2026 will take place at the Royal Tulip Kathmandu, which is located in the heart of Lalitpur, offering a peaceful setting with easy access to key cultural landmarks and urban conveniences.
Set in one of the most culturally vibrant areas of the Kathmandu Valley, the venue provides a quiet and comfortable base for delegates while remaining within walking distance of Patan Durbar Square and close to major heritage sites such as Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, and Kathmandu Durbar Square. This central location allows participants to engage with Nepal’s artistic and spiritual heritage, offering a meaningful cultural context alongside the Congress program.
Nepal: The Heart of the Himalaya
Nepal is a country of extraordinary contrasts, where soaring Himalayan peaks meet lush subtropical forests, centuries-old temples stand beside bustling modern cities, and traditional communities thrive alongside contemporary innovations. It is a global biodiversity hotspot and a leader in community-based conservation, making it the perfect setting for the Conservation Asia Congress Nepal 2026 (CACN 2026).
Welcome to Kathmandu – A Living Heritage City at the Crossroads of Culture, Nature, and the Himalaya
The Kathmandu Valley is one of the world’s most remarkable cultural landscapes—home to over 2,000 years of history, seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites, a dense urban forest system, and communities that have long practiced sophisticated forms of environmental stewardship.
Today, Kathmandu is Nepal’s administrative, cultural, and economic center, as well as the gateway to the Himalaya and the heart of the nation’s conservation movement.
The city’s vibrant markets, sacred courtyards, monasteries, festivals, and mountain skylines offer delegates a multilayered experience that reflects Nepal’s deep connection between people, culture, and biodiversity. Whether you are exploring the heritage squares, tasting local cuisine, or walking through the city’s urban temples and forested hills, Kathmandu welcomes you with warmth, diversity, and its signature blend of tradition and transformation. The Kathmandu Valley is composed of three ancient cities — Kathmandu, Patan (Lalitpur), and Bhaktapur.
