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:

·     Provide interested people an opportunity to become part of this unique and historic project by owning shares.

·     Purchase a site that resembles the hilly and green landscape of Nepal - now completed.

·     Collaborate with communities at local, regional and national level.

·     Create a recreational and educational centre.

·     Preserve and promote of local and Nepali history, culture and traditions for our future generations.

·     Provide employment opportunities.

·     Organise mini environmental and eco-friendly activities.

·     Preserve and promote biodiversity.

·     Promote 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 many pre-consultation meetings, I am delighted to inform you that we successfully submitted our planning application to Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog) National Park authority on 24 October 2024. Our application is currently being reviewed by the National Park consultees and local authorities. Since this is an ambitious and unique project within the National Park, we expected some comments and objections to our application. However, we had already considered many comments and feedback provided by the locals and National Park Consultees during our various briefings with them and the Pre-Application Consultation (PAC) phase.

The Board of Directors are continuing to work very closely with our consultants to consider all the comments diligently and exploring the right options/responses to achieve our planning permission.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to all our local Community Council councillors, local public including all our planning consultants for their co-operation and support throughout this planning process. I cannot thank all our directors enough who have been voluntarily working very hard to achieve our dream project. Our local community and future generations will no doubt benefit from our project once its established.

It is very important that we continue to work closely with all local authorities, and locals maintaining a good spirit and rhythm of the project and establish this unique project for wider communities.

Finally, we are investing ‘our today for our future generations’. I am optimistic about our application and hope everyone will seriously consider the outcome of the project support it. 

Thank you.
