ICOMOS Nepal is dedicated to safeguarding Nepal’s cultural heritage, including monuments, archaeological sites, and intangible traditions. We promote conservation practices that respect cultural authenticity while addressing modern challenges like climate change, urbanization, and disaster resilience.
After the 2015 earthquakes, we played a pivotal role in:
Assessing damage to heritage sites like Kathmandu Valley’s UNESCO monuments.
Advocating for reconstruction using traditional materials and techniques (e.g., timber, brick, and lime mortar).
Training local artisans and engineers in earthquake-resistant, culturally sensitive restoration.
Yes! We prioritize community engagement by:
Involving local stakeholders in conservation planning.
Documenting indigenous knowledge and oral histories tied to heritage sites.
Raising awareness about heritage preservation as a shared responsibility.
