Promoting Safe, Responsible Flight Across Nepal
नेपाल मानव रहित विमान (ड्रोन) संघ — UDAAN
UDAAN is the registered national association dedicated to the safe, responsible, and sustainable use of unmanned aircraft — advancing innovation, regulation, and public trust across Nepal's skies.
Nepal's Drone Sector Needs a Unified Voice
Rapid UAV adoption across agriculture, disaster response, film, and logistics has outpaced regulation. Operators face unclear airspace rules, rising registration costs, and fragmented training standards.
Without a national body to bridge industry and government, innovation stalls and public trust erodes. UDAAN exists to close that gap.
Regulatory Uncertainty
Evolving CAAN rules require coordinated industry input and clear operator guidance.
Training Gaps
High-altitude and commercial operations demand certified, Nepal-specific curricula.
Safety Standards
No-fly zones and altitude limits need industry-wide compliance protocols.
Fragmented Community
Pilots, operators, and enterprises lack a unified platform for advocacy and growth.
