HELP SUPPORT THE FESTIVAL WITH SPECIAL
FRIENDS OF THE FESTIVAL AND PATRON’S PASS PACKAGES...

We have worked hard to make this historic event as successful and affordable as possible for everyone, so the Himalayan Vegan Festival will be a FREE event, and open to all. However, we understand some people are interested in attending the full event from start to finish either in Kathmandu or Pokhara (or both) and would like to get the most of their time at the festival as well as help be a part of making this event a success. We are pleased to offer a variety of “all-inclusive passes” to accommodate this need so you’ll be able to get the most from the festival and to thank you for your support. These passes will provide reserved priority seating at lectures, and reserved places in the particular workshops and classes of your choice (which will be on a first come first served basis for the general public). The passes will also offer greater engagement with other vegan activists, experts, delegates, and speakers from around the world at the special festival-sponsored vegan lunches, dinners, lounges, and discussions. We also understand that many people may not have enough time to attend both events in Kathmandu and Pokhara, so we have a variety of special attendee passes to accommodate every need. From the Patron’s Pass, which is perfect for those attending the event from out of town; to the Friends of the Festival Pass, which is perfect for local attendees who already have accommodation and facilities in place. Please find below details of our special Patron’s Pass and Friends of the Festival Pass. Thank you very much for your support of The Himalayan Vegan Festival. We look very much forward to seeing you and celebrating veganism together in the Himalayas!

THE HIMALAYAN VEGAN FESTIVAL will be a CARBON NEUTRAL EVENT: All the Himalayan Vegan Festival events will be 100% carbon neutral. All carbon emissions will be offset with community tree planting and other offset projects that volunteers are organizing with youth from Pokhara, Lumbini, and Kathmandu, and we’ll be using Yeti Airlines, Nepal’s first carbon-neutral airline, for all our roundtrip flights from Kathmandu to Pokhara, and Kathmandu to Lumbini. The Lumbini Development Trust has brand new electric buses they are providing us for our transfers during the 2-day event in Lumbini as well.
