Purnima Karki and Mridul Acharya have been officially crowned 'Miss Supranational Nepal 2026' and 'Mr Supranational Nepal 2026', respectively. The announcement was made during a special event held at the Hotel Crowne Imperial in Kathmandu.
Unlike the competitive pageants of the past four years, this year's winners were selected through a special internal evaluation process, according to National Director Dr Santosh Upadhyaya. The newly crowned titles holders are set to represent Nepal at the upcoming international pageant in Poland.
The final selection was made by a distinguished panel of judges, including Dr Santosh Upadhyaya, Dhiraj Kaji Basnet, Manoj Maharjan, Sajina Khanal, Monika Adhikari, and Kshitij Shrestha Chhetri.
The newly crowned Miss Supranational Nepal, 24-year-old Purnima Karki, is an advocate and media personality. She hosts the travel documentary series 'Yatra Nepal Ko' and works as a legal analyst at the law firm Lex Jurist. Additionally, Karki serves as Nepal's National Ambassador for the 'Law Awareness Society' and holds the position of International Director at Parthway Global Alliance, where she leads initiatives to empower youth through cultural exchange, sports, and skill development.
Meanwhile, the new Mr Supranational Nepal, 30-year-old Mridul Acharya, is a civil engineer who holds master's degrees in both construction management and business administration. Alongside his professional career in infrastructure development and hydropower—where he contributes significantly to job creations—Acharya has also established himself as an independent model. He is also actively involved in the hospitality business.
The event was organized by Sanurvi International, with Mahendra Agni Group and Ratna Jewellers serving as the main sponsors.
