What vehicles are common in Nepal

MeCasa · Jun 22nd, 2006, 02:59

What vehichles do the people in obscure places drive. This is important as these are the vehicles that can be easily repaired not to mention these are the vehicles which will draw the least attention

Thanks

Ya. ya, ya, must be the four wheel drive models

On TV they always show pics of rebels hanging out of the back of old Datsun and Toyota trucka but nobody ever mentions these trucks

Are they common?

And which motorcyle is the easiest to get parts for outside the cities?

I have no idea.... just thought you might enjoy the mental picture of all those incredibly expensive cars being thrown around the mountain roads

. Oh, I forgot Porsche

....

You might enjoy even more the thought of trying to looki inconspicous driving one yourself

Do they sell the Hindustan Ambassador in Nepal?

Mecasa in all seriousness - Cattleyak's are easy to hire, have very good horns and are easy on gas .... although they make a lot of their own.

Would everyone agree that enfield parts (cables, handles, etc) would be easier to find in these places (hard but easier), and we all know I'll fall at least 6-99 times and drop it in at least one crik?

So we award one for Royal Endfield in this catagory

Has anybody every stripped one of those suckers down to fightin' weight?
