Five creators are expected to produce reels, vlogs, podcasts and other digital storytelling content about Nepal, according to Times of India and follow-on reports. The content focus, as described in those reports, includes heritage, spirituality, adventure travel and broader tourism promotion. (devdiscourse.com) Devdiscourse reported that the embassy invited Indian vloggers and podcasters to help promote Nepal’s heritage and tourism.

Five Indian creators will be selected, according to Times of India and other reports that described the offer as an embassy-backed or sponsored trip. Several outlets characterized it as an all-expenses-paid or free trip, though the embassy page surfaced in search results did not show the full notice text directly. (timesofindia.indiatimes.com) The itinerary and travel details are to be shared later with selected participants, Nepal News reported. That report also said applications are being submitted by email to the embassy. (devdiscourse.com) ### Why is there confusion over the deadline? May 30 and May 31 both appear in current coverage. Nepal News and Collegenp reported an application deadline of May 30, 2026, while Times of India reported May 31, 2026. The embassy’s public contact page lists its general and economic section email addresses, but the notice itself was not fully accessible in the search snippets reviewed here. (timesofindia.indiatimes.com) Because of that, the precise cutoff should be checked against the embassy’s original notice before applying. ### Where should applicants look next? (english.nepalnews.com) The Embassy of Nepal’s website lists New Delhi contact details including Barakhamba Road as its address and publishes notices and press releases on its official site. The same site lists general and economic section email addresses that match addresses cited in media reports about the creator program. (english.nepalnews.com) May 30 and May 31 are the key dates now in circulation, and selected participants are expected to receive itinerary details afterward, according to current reports. Anyone applying should verify the deadline and submission instructions on the embassy’s official channels in New Delhi. (english.nepalnews.com) (in.nepalembassy.gov.np)
