Embarking on a 4500-kilometer journey from Kathmandu, Nepal, to Gulmarg, Kashmir, India, our expedition was more than just a road trip—it was a mission to underscore the potential of sustainable travel. With a focus on advocating for electric vehicles (EVs) as a viable mode of transportation, our objective was to showcase their capability for long-distance travel while emphasizing environmental consciousness. This endeavor included a commitment to reducing carbon footprint, exploring how EVs adapt to diverse terrains, and documenting our experiences to demonstrate that, with proper planning, long-distance travel on EVs is not only feasible but advantageous.

Furthermore, our specific aim was to assess the EV infrastructure across Nepal and India, collecting vital information for fellow EV travelers on aspects such as charging infrastructure, methods, payment processes used, and the official procedures involved for bringing vehicles across borders. By highlighting the practicality of long-distance EV travel, our mission sought to capture the attention of governments and stakeholders, urging them to prioritize and invest in the development of a robust EV infrastructure and ecosystem. Additionally, we aimed to underscore the cost-effectiveness of EV travel, emphasizing its economic benefits for individuals and communities at large.
