As we all know, Nepal is not always about sweet and smooth rides. But instead, you will need to prepare for puddle roads, off-roads, and gritty areas.
Yes, in and out of the valley, if you look at the streets, you will find several SUVs that are fun for your family and the off roads conditions as well.
Additionally, you will come across multiple vehicles that look tough and some that are tough. Most SUVs fall into both categories. Indeed, they look tough and are also challenging.
Often sports looking cars are fine on the pitch roads of the valley but are never an excellent choice for out-of-the-valley experiences and journeys.
With low-in-count sedans and hatchback riders, the number is much lower when we call it an off-road experience.
