About Miss Uttarakhand

Himalayan Buzz Miss Uttarakhand is the most popular and prestigious beauty pageant in the state of Uttarakhand. With its far-reaching influence, the pageant connects with audiences across every corner of the state and among Uttarakhandis living around the world. After several successful seasons and launching the careers of numerous talented models, we return once again in search of the next face of Uttarakhand.

The 2026 edition marks a major milestone — the 10th edition of Himalayan Buzz Miss Uttarakhand. Over the past decade, this pageant has grown into a respected institution that not only celebrates beauty but also empowers young women with purpose and confidence.

This is more than just a beauty contest. It is a nurturing platform dedicated to discovering and showcasing the grace, intelligence, and potential of the young women of Uttarakhand. The organizers take pride in the fact that Himalayan Buzz Miss Uttarakhand does not just build confidence, but also helps participants significantly improve essential life skills such as communication, leadership, public speaking, and poise. These soft skills empower participants far beyond the ramp and become assets in any professional field they choose to pursue.
