Echoes in the Valley (EITV) Festival of Folk Music was established in 2017 with the goal to bring together a vast range of folk, traditional and indigenous sounds from Nepal and around the world. The festival is the only free international event in Nepal to celebrate folk tunes and the heritages and cultures that are tied to the ecosystem of the music.

EITV is more than just a festival. It is a movement. The festival takes place once a year, but we support Nepali musicians and Nepal’s music year-round. We understand both the fragility and strength of the ecosystem of music-making. We know that organizing a festival is one aspect of a much larger picture. This is why we spend our energies at strengthening the musical culture, education, resources, artists and behind-the-scenes players that make up what we know as the musical scene of Nepal.
