We are thrilled to announce that Mantra, the renowned Nepali rock band, will be performing at the 3rd Edition of the Melo Tea Fest 2025 at Chowrastha, Darjeeling.


Mantra originated in Darjeeling in the early 2000s. They are one of the well-known musical bands in Nepal. Some of their songs include Sadhai Sadhai, Himali Nepali, and Sanskriti, all of which were released in the early 2000s.


As part of the Melo Tea Fest, Mantra’s performance will be a celebration of Nepali Rock music culture, set against the backdrop of Darjeeling’s iconic Chowrastha. It promises to be an unforgettable evening of music, culture, and unity—an event not to be missed!
