About us

Nepal is the land of the great Himalayas which includes Mount Everest (the highest peak in the world), the fabled Yeti and home of the legendary Gurkha soldiers. Our country is also known as the birthplace of Lord Gautam Buddha and is blessed with awe-inspiring scenery and natural beauty. The people of this beautiful country are called Nepali or Nepalese.


There is a large expat Nepali community in the United Kingdom and mainland Europe. Many are British Army Gurkha veterans while others have come to UK as professionals and students then stayed to contribute to the prosperity of the UK and Europe. The Nepalese community in the UK, have held a lifelong ambition to establish a place known as ‘Nepali Village’ where anyone can go on holidays or take short breaks to enjoy the beautiful countryside, reminiscent of Nepal.

 

Vision

Our vision is to establish a recreational and educational centre to be known as ‘Nepali Village UK’ (NVUK) in Mid-Wales. A place where families can visit and spend time away in a quiet and peaceful environment, whilst also being able to learn about the local and Nepali culture and experience a taste of life in a Nepal village in the rural Welsh countryside..

 

Missions

Our missions are as follows:


  • Providing interested people with an opportunity to become part of this unique and historic project by owning shares
  • Purchasing a site that resembles the hilly and green landscape of Nepal - now completed
  • Collaborating with communities at the local, regional and national levels
  • Creating a recreational and educational centre
  • Preserving and promoting local and Nepali history, culture and traditions for our future generations
  • Providing employment opportunities
  • Establishing a Wellbeing Centre
  • Organising environmental and eco-friendly activities
  • Preserving and promoting biodiversity
  • Promoting tourism in Wales and Nepal

 

After many months of preparation and many pre-consultation meetings, on 24 October 2024. we successfully submitted our planning application to Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog) National Park authority and are eagerly awaiting for their response.

 

This is a long-term community based commercial project, and it is the first ever project of this kind in the UK and mainland Europe. It will culminate in the building of a recreational and educational centre, where anyone is welcome to visit and learn about the local and Nepali culture. We will also provide various hospitality and meditation facilities for those wishing to spend their holidays with us. We are investing “our today for our future generation’s tomorrow”.


There is an opportunity to join this unique project as shareholders. The shares will be sold on a first-come first-serve basis and will close once we secure sufficient shares for our project.


 Our Motto is “Preserving Culture, Promoting Togetherness”

Chairman/Managing Director’s Message

After many months of preparation and pre-application engagement, I am pleased to confirm that we submitted our planning application to the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacon) National Park Authority on 24 October 2024. The application is currently under review by the National Park Authority, statutory consultees and relevant local authorities.


As this is an ambitious and distinctive proposal within the National Park, we anticipated that the application would generate comments and some objections. Many of the issues raised reflect matters that were already considered during our early engagement with stakeholders and through the Pre-Application Consultation (PAC) process.


The Board of Directors continues to work closely with our professional consultants to review all feedback carefully and to develop appropriate responses in support of the application.


I would like to express my sincere thanks to the Community Council councillors, local residents, and our planning consultants for their constructive engagement and support throughout this process. I am also grateful to our directors for their voluntary commitment and sustained effort in progressing this project.


We remain committed to working collaboratively with local authorities and the community, maintaining a positive and respectful approach as we move through the planning process. We believe the project has the potential to deliver long-term benefits for the local area and future generations.


We are investing today with a long-term vision for the future. While we recognise that the outcome of the planning process cannot be guaranteed, we remain optimistic and appreciate the continued support of stakeholders.


Over the past nine months, we have seen strong interest from individuals wishing to be involved in the project. At present, the opportunity for new members to join is closed until further notice. Existing members may increase their shareholding until 31 December 2026. In parallel with the planning application, the company is also exploring additional investment opportunities aligned with our objectives.


Thank you for your continued interest and support.


“Together we can achieve and thrive.”
