The Hidden Treasure (THT) Pvt. Ltd, since its establishment in 1995 has been tirelessly working as an institution dedicated to uplifting and empowering the citizens of our country; whether it’s via conducting Miss Nepal, the largest beauty pageant in Nepal or acting as an event management company. Run by innovative and experienced Board of Directors, THT holds franchise for Miss World, Miss Earth and Miss International. The representatives we select, train and send to these international pageants have been doing an amazing job to bring a country as small as ours into the international limelight.
As the organizers of the largest beauty pageant in Nepal, our exponential growth over these past years have made the protesters and sceptics of the beauty pageant believe that THT stands for feminism.
As an event management company, apart from Miss Nepal THT has successfully organized musical event Shikhar Saajh from 1996-1997 for Surya Tobacco Company, cultural events for Nepal/German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NGCCI) and Shanti Nikunja High School, Newari Food Festival for Kathmandu Lady Jaycess. The Annual General Meetings for Premier Insurance Company from 1996-98, The International Biodiversity Day celebration program in 2004, Durbar Marg street festivals on 2009 and 2010 and Health and Beauty Expo 2010 are some more of the events that THT successfully organized. However, our moment of pride and perhaps the most commendable work was when we published a pictorial coffee-table book titled “Kingdom on Edge” based on the life and time of Late King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah in 2002.

Chairman's Message (2023)
Greetings from The Hidden Treasure!
Keeping in view the current situation of economic difficulties, The Hidden Treasure has pushed ahead with organizing Miss Nepal Pageant 2023 with a press meet announcing the formal opening of the applications for the pageant on February 02, 2023.
It has also necessitated us to march in tune with the changing time. The pageant will see some notable changes this year. To make it more broad- based and also to adhere to the suggestions, the height criteria has been reduced by and inch to 5' 3", age limit increased to 27 years. We will be conducting regional auditions covering all the seven provinces of the country. Itahari, Birgunj, Pokhara, Dhangadhi, Nepalgunj, Surkhet and Kathmandu. The grand finale is taking place at the 2800 capacity Sunrise Auditorium at Godawari. This year the pageant will have three winners – Miss Nepal World, Miss Nepal Earth, and Miss Nepal International.
Miss Nepal World 2020 Namrata Shrestha participated in Miss World 2021 pageant held in Puerto Rico, in December. Two days before the finale the pageant was cancelled as some contestants tested Covid positive. Namrata again represented Nepal in the rescheduled pageant at Peurto Rico on March16, 2022; where only top 40 participants were invited. Miss Nepal International Nancy Khadka participated at Miss International 2022 Pageant held in Tokyo, Japan on 13th December 2022. Likewise Miss Nepal Earth 2022 Sareesha Shrestha participated at Miss Earth 2022 pageant held in Manila, Philippines on 29th November, 2022. Sareesha was able to bag Best Eco video (Asia) at the finale. Miss Nepal World 2022 Priyanka Rani Joshi is waiting for dates and venue announcement of Miss World 2023. She is working on her Beauty with a purpose project.
The pandemic posed challenges like no other for all of us including our valued sponsors and supporters. Yet we all persevered and pushed ahead to be on this stage today to proudly present to you "The Hidden Treasure presents DABUR VATIKA Miss Nepal 2023 powered by Galderma Cetaphil and Somersby Premium Cider".
On a happy note THT is happy and proud to welcome back once again Dabur Vatika Shampoo as our title sponsor. This year we also welcome a new co- sponsors – Galderma Cetaphil and Somersby Premium Cider.
On behalf of The Hidden Treasure and my own behalf let me take this opportunity to show our appreciation to all the contestants, their parents, all our sponsors, partners, supporters, trainers, groomers, dress designers, makeup team, the entire technical teams, and all our well- wishers, especially the media for their trust confidence and continuous support of the Miss Nepal Brand and towards the success of the pageant, each year.
This year there will be the traditional rows of audience to applaud and to enjoy the glitz, glamour and splendor of this mega event coming live from the newly constructed hall streaming live in our homes and carried live around the country and abroad by Kantipur TV, YouTube, Facebook and onlineKhabar.com.
