London – The Echoes of the Himalayas, a vibrant event celebrating the rich traditions of the Himalayan region through mesmerising performances of music, poetry, and dance, will take place on 6 February at 1:00 pm at the auditorium of Universal Peace Federation UK in London. The event is being hosted by The Centre for Nepalese Culture – NEPAL Centre UK and supported by UPF-UK, GINI London, The Lamichhane Foundation, and Here and Now 365.

This cultural celebration promises to bring the spirit of the Himalayas to life, showcasing the region’s timeless artistic expressions. Nirmal Kumar Thapa, Founder President of the Centre, shared: “The event aims to offer a taste of Himalayan music, poetry, and dance in a land where vibrancy thrives. We’ve hosted musical events, poetry recitals, art exhibitions, and book launches in the past, and the love and support from diverse audiences have been overwhelming. We hope for the same response this year as well.”

Since its inception at the House of Lords in 2019, the Centre for Nepalese Culture has organised numerous programmes across the globe, achieving significant success in promoting the cultural heritage of the Himalayas. Nirmal Kumar Thapa’s contributions to art, culture, and literature were recently honoured with the International Book of Honour England award at the UK’s House of Lords in November 2023.

Dr Sangita Swechcha, Coordinator of the Centre, added: “We are thrilled with the Centre’s growth and the continued support we’ve received. Many of our initial plans from 2019 have come to fruition, and we look forward to reaching new milestones while further celebrating the richness of Himalayan culture.”

This event not only highlights the Centre’s dedication to preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the Himalayas but also serves as a platform for fostering global connections and appreciation.
