The festival site for three days in Pokhara — a destination pitch, a programme and a residency-aware ticketing system, designed and deployed in a single day.
Design to deployment in 24 hours
The homepage opens on the mountains, not on a ticket form — the decision being asked for is a trip to Nepal, and the site leads with that.
The first edition of Nomads Basecamp brought 150+ participants from more than thirty countries to Pokhara. For September 2026 the festival had to reach further — and the announcement date was already fixed. Tickets had to be on sale before there was a site to sell them on.
That left one day. In it the site had to do three jobs at once: argue for Nepal to people who would need to book international flights, explain a three-day programme that was still being confirmed, and take real money from two audiences — Nepali residents and international attendees pay in different currencies at different rates, across four passes.
A site built as a destination pitch first: why Nepal, what Pokhara actually costs, what the three days contain, and seventeen bookable experiences that each state plainly whether your pass covers them.
Under it, a real booking system — residency chosen at the first step of checkout so the right currency follows you through, Stripe payment, a QR ticket, and a self-serve page where attendees find their booking with an order number and email instead of emailing the organisers.
The site argues for Nepal before it argues for the festival — cost of living, connectivity, the Annapurnas on the skyline — because the decision being asked for is a flight, not a ticket.
Residency is the first step, so Nepali and international attendees each see their own currency and rate from that point on, through Stripe to a QR ticket.
A 2025 highlights page carrying the numbers, the photography and attendee quotes — the social proof the campaign points at when it asks someone to commit months ahead.
Speakers, partners and sessions are published as they are confirmed, with newsletter capture and a calendar invite, so announcements have somewhere to land instead of going stale in a provisional grid.

The 2025 edition drew 150+ participants from 30+ countries and 25+ speakers. Nomads Basecamp is organised by Saarang Services Pvt. Ltd., a Nepali travel-technology company with 300+ QR-based tourism installations across Kathmandu, Pokhara, Bardiya, Lumbini, Mustang and Langtang — accommodation, transfers and experiences run through local operators, so the money stays in Pokhara.
