International pageants

Miss Nepal has been participating in the Miss Asia Pacific pageant since 1994, starting with Ruby Rana; and in the Miss World pageant since 1997, starting with Jharana Bajracharya.

From 2004, the practice of choosing a single winner or "Miss Nepal" was changed to instead elect representatives to the different international pageants. As of 2004, the 2nd Runner Up is sent to the Miss Earth pageant, which is recognized as one of the three most prestigious beauty pageants in the world.[2]

In 2002, the pageant was held in December which was after the Miss World 2002, hence the Miss Nepal 2002 winner, Malvika Subba missed the opportunity to represent Nepal in the Miss World pageant. From 2005, the practice of sending the 1st Runner Up to Miss Asia Pacific was abolished in favor of sending the 1st Runner Up for the Miss Earth Beauty Paegent. And since 2010, the 2nd Runner Up represents Nepal at Miss International beauty pageant.
