The pageant was founded in 2016 by a Kathmandu-based businessperson Sazum Katwal of Looks Entertainment,. Nepal's first three representatives were appointed to the position without taking part in any national pageant. The first edition of Miss Grand Nepal happened after a Kathmandu-based event organizer Looks Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. (Mero Looks) had obtained the license in 2016, the contest was held at Hyatt Regency Hotel in Kathmandu on 23 August, where ''Zeenus Lama'' was named the winner. Despite being unable to join the 2016 international pageant due to document issues, Zeenus was instead appointed to compete internationally at the 2017 pageant in Vietnam. Under the management of RK Entertainment Group from 2017–2018, audition events were held across Nepal to find contestants for the pageant. In 2019 the RK group lost its Miss Grand Nepal franchise to Bollywood Showdown Nepal Pvt. Ltd. of Izodom Nepal & Cosmo Group.
