Cultural Heritage
Nepal, home to one of the world's oldest civilizations, is a treasure trove of diverse cultures, traditions, and heritage sites spread across its majestic landscapes. Yet, the true value of this rich cultural tapestry remains underappreciated and often overlooked.
At IRD, we are committed to exploring, documenting, preserving, promoting, and revitalizing Nepal's cultural and historical assets. Through our dedicated campaigns and initiatives, we strive to ensure that Nepal's intangible heritage—its festivals, folklore, and traditional practices—along with tangible landmarks, including ancient temples, monuments, and art forms, are not only protected but also celebrated. By fostering awareness and encouraging community involvement, we aim to inspire a renewed sense of pride and responsibility among individuals and institutions to safeguard Nepal's cultural legacy for future generations.
Join us in our journey to honor Nepal's past, celebrate its present, and pave the way for a culturally enriched future.
