Dabur Vatika Miss Nepal 2003, the 9th Miss Nepal beauty contest, was held on September 13, 2003, at the Birendra International Conference Convention Centre in Nepal. It was won by Priti Sitoula, of Kathmandu.[http://www.missnepal.com.np/pressrelease.php ] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080723105123/http://www.missnepal.com.np/pressrelease.php |date=July 23, 2008 }}

The show was broadcast live by Nepal Television but suffered from minor technical glitches.{{cite web|url=http://www.hotelnepal.com/nepal_news.php?id=807 |title=Sugarika KC crowned Miss Nepal 2005 - Nepal News Daily |publisher=Hotelnepal.com |date= |accessdate=2012-08-30}}

The contestants were supported by fashion designer groups INIFD, NEFT, Lakhotia and others. The event differed from previous pageants in that it featured modifications of Nepal's traditional ethnic dresses. Designs from INIFD (International Institute of Fashion Design) were judged to be better than the dresses from competing designers.

Namrata Shrestha hosted the show. The Winner of Miss Nepal 2003, Priti Sitoula, represented Nepal in the Miss World 2003 pageant in Sanya, China. The 1st runner up, Prerana Shah, represented Nepal in the Miss Asia Pacific 2003.
