The presence of the Nepalese community in Hong Kong dates back to the 1960s, when members of the British Army’s Gurkha Brigade were stationed in the city. Following the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong in July 1997, the British military presence came to an end. Many former Gurkha servicemen and their families, however, remained in Hong Kong under applicable residency arrangements, helping to establish the foundations of today’s Nepalese community.

Today, Hong Kong is home to an established Nepalese community with an estimated population of approximately 40,000, contributing to the city’s rich cultural diversity and economic development.

Recognizing the growing need for a unified voice to represent Nepalese entrepreneurs and businesses, the Nepal Chamber of Commerce Hong Kong (NEPCHAM HK) was established in March 2008 under the guidance of the Consul General of Nepal and through the vision and initiative of a group of Nepalese entrepreneurs. The Chamber was founded with a clear mission: to promote, represent, and safeguard the interests of Nepalese businesses in Hong Kong.

NEPCHAM HK is a non-profit, member-driven business organization committed to empowering Nepalese entrepreneurs, encouraging business growth, and strengthening economic cooperation between Nepal and Hong Kong.

The Consul General of Nepal in Hong Kong serves as the Chamber’s Chief Patron, fostering close collaboration with the Consulate General of Nepal and supporting initiatives that advance the interests of the Nepalese business community.

With a membership base of more than 270 members, NEPCHAM HK has grown into a dynamic platform for business networking, knowledge exchange, entrepreneurship, and commercial collaboration. It serves as an important bridge between Nepalese businesses and the wider Hong Kong business community, including government institutions, trade organizations, and industry stakeholders.
