Nepal Drives Magazine - Volume 1 - Issue 11

In this issue

It would take something special for us to fight through rush-hour traffic, spend 20 minutes finding a parking spot inside Bhrikuti Mandap (only to have to park outside on the road), and spend sweaty hours walking amongst other sweaty people under the sweltering heat of Kathmandu’s mid-summer hell. But because we were heading to the NADA Auto Show, we made an exception. Was this year’s NADA Auto Show worth all that punishment? Of course it was. There were some amazing launches and incredible products that managed to keep our smiles and enthusiasm intact. You can check out the newest launches in our coverage inside.

However, we can’t wrap our head around why it has to be that difficult. Why is finding parking so difficult? Why aren’t there any places for people to cool off? Why are companies forced to work two straight days and nights (often even after the event starts) to set up their stall instead of giving them an extra prep day? Why does it feel so mismanaged? And why has it been the same scenario year after year?
We don’t have the answers to all these questions. Nevertheless, this month’s issue might have the answers to your automotive questions. We drive the latecomer: Honda HRV, the splendid Suzuki S Cross, the electrifying Kia Niro EV, the brand new Mahindra XUV 300, and the talk of the town: Hyundai Venue.

If you have more unanswered questions, send them to our Facebook page and Instagram and we’ll get back to you. Maybe we’ll even answer them in our upcoming issue.

Until then, toodaloo.
