On Monday, July 7, 2025, WorldLink, Nepal’s leading private internet service provider, inaugurated the WorldLink Museum in Kusunti, Lalitpur. This museum is the first of its kind in Nepal dedicated to chronicling the country’s internet development alongside the company’s own journey from its inception to the present day.
The museum aims to preserve and showcase the struggles and milestones that shaped both WorldLink and Nepal’s digital landscape. While museums are commonly used to display historical narratives of countries or organizations, WorldLink’s initiative marks Nepal’s pioneering effort in celebrating its internet history through a dedicated space. Established formally in September 1995, WorldLink has witnessed and contributed to nearly three decades of internet evolution in Nepal.
In a Facebook announcement, WorldLink expressed pride in opening “Nepal’s very first internet museum,” highlighting the company’s 29-year transformation from dial-up modems to modern fiber optic technologies, celebrating the milestones that propelled Nepal’s digital transformation.
The inauguration ceremony was led by Dileep Agrawal, chairman of WorldLink Communications Ltd., with co-founder and executive director Manoj Agrawal and CEO Keshav Nepal also in attendance.
WorldLink’s Data Center Expansion
In addition to launching the museum, WorldLink is progressing in building Nepal’s largest data center in Chandragiri, further strengthening the country’s digital infrastructure and internet service capabilities.
What to Expect at the WorldLink Museum
Visitors to the WorldLink Museum can explore various technologies and equipment that illustrate the evolution of internet services in Nepal. Exhibits include devices and systems from dial-up modems, VSAT, wireless internet, cable internet, to the current high-speed fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks.
The museum narrates WorldLink’s own progression—from its early days offering dial-up internet, which was the primary mode of connection when the company launched, to the present-day provision of advanced fiber internet services. Dial-up’s inherent speed limitations made way for successive, more reliable technologies, enabling Nepal’s internet ecosystem to grow and improve substantially.

Visitor Information and Entry Fees
The WorldLink Museum welcomes students, journalists, and tech enthusiasts with free entry. It is open to the public every Friday from 10 AM to 4 PM and is located in Kusunti, Lalitpur.
