General Information

2007-10-29T23:47:00.000-07:00

Last few days left.... Just a bit of general information we thought would be useful for you to know...

If you are coming from India, please be aware that 500 and 1000 Rupee notes are not accepted in most places. The airport, most shops and even many money exchange places will refuse the note and tell that it is illegal tender in Nepal.
However, 100 Rupee notes are accepted almost everywhere... You can spend them here like local currency, so your 100 Indian Rupees will be 160 Nepalese...

You will be able to use these notes at DarkSun. Euros, Indian Rupees and Nepalese Rupees will all be accepted.

For those of you who do not have camping tents, there will be a limited supply for you to rent at the Festival, so be fast if you need one, it is a strictly "first come first served" policy. You will be provided with a two man tent, sleeping bag and ground mat. These will be rented out by Avia Tours and Travels.

Important Passport Upates!!

2007-10-25T07:47:00.000-07:00

For Indian Psyheads:

We've had recent reports from Indian friends who have tried to enter Nepal by Air without a passport and have found it nearly impossible to do so.
This is unforeseen and unexpected. We'd like to warn you in advance that you might need your passport. Please do try to find out for yourselves if you're Indian and flying in to Nepal.
See you on the other side... :)

Fears and Concerns

We are aware that some of you have worries about coming to Darksun Festival, especially in light of recent events.

Firstly let us assure you all that we have been working our hardest to make sure that this event will be safe and secure and that you will have totally peace of mind whilst at DarkSun Festival.

In order for us to be so confident in our event, we have been given the permission and approval of the Tourism board of Nepal. They have granted us with an N.O.C (No Objection Certificate) which entitles us to hold this event for the entire ten days.
We have also been given the backing and support from members of the local community of Pokhara and important political groups, who give their blessing for Darksun.

Location and Information....

We are really lucky to have found ourselves the most amazing floor for you to stomp in.
You will have the most amazing views of the natural beauty of Nepal, and a wide flowing river to enjoy.

Darksun Festival ground is located 10Km from Pokhara town center, a place called Bagmara on the bank of the Seti River.

There will be signs from Pokhara to lead you to the Festival....

Buses will be provided to take people from Pokhara to Darksun Festival, but please be aware of the volume of people, so try to arrange your own transport...

We would like to recommend Avia Tours and Travels to provide you with information and advise on the local area. They are able and happy to help with any queries and booking needs you have.

Updates!!!!

nthTerm is a collective of friends who love psy trance and have been avid followers of the scene for many years.
Our beginning as organisers started with small private gatherings and has expanded into larger events that have sometimes led to collaborations with other organisers.
Our aim as organisers is to provide a platform for artists and an experience for the music lover.

Parties under the skies within nature - this is what we believe to be the most enjoyable experience.

The Dark Sun Festival is a first for us because of its magnitude and nature.
It will be set in the beautiful country of Nepal, a place that is well known for its mountain trails and fresh air. Imagine 3 days of non stop music followed by a further 4 more days of mind blowing madness and you're almost there!

You will need to be prepared for the whole 7/10 days you're there; think about your own needs, bring tents, warm clothes, sleeping bags, etc
It's going to be cold at night and hot in the day so get warm clothes and sunscreen; this is important, the sun is really intense up there so think about your skin!
There will be free fresh mountain water for the whole festival;
Of course there will be food stalls so you can eat well every day, a bar and some general supplies.
There will be limited parking space so please think about traveling in groups.

Camping space is plentiful and free. Large chill out areas to take rest in will be provided.
Please be aware of nature and others when you're camping, don't light fires for warmth or food, don't litter and keep the place in its natural beautiful state. *Every night a bonfire will be lit.*

We are lucky to be having this festival at the same time as a New Moon followed by Diwali - the festival of light, so we will be providing some celebrations of our own as well as some killer music!!!
