National Paralympic Committee Nepal (; NPC code: NEP) is responsible for selecting athletes to represent Nepal at the Paralympic Games, Asian Para Games and other international para sports competitions, and managing Nepalese teams at these events. NPC Nepal is dedicated to promoting sports for individuals with disabilities. The main focus of the committee is to organize, supervise, and coordinate sports events and competitions for them.
Nepalese athletes made their Paralympic Games debut at the 2004 Summer Paralympics. However, Nepal had not secured an official medal at the Games until taekwondo athlete Palesha Goverdhan made history by winning a bronze medal at the 2024 Summer Paralympics in Paris. This marked Nepal’s first-ever official medal in the Paralympic Games, placing the country on the Paralympic medal tally for the very first time. For this historic and remarkable achievement, Palesha Goverdhan was awarded by the Nepalese prime minister K. P. Sharma Oli on behalf of the Government of Nepal on 13 September 2024.
