October 12: Agni Group, the authorised distributor of Mahindra vehicles in Nepal, is organising Road to Rara expedition in association with Imagine Nepal. The company said in a press statement that the expedition will give wings to adventure seeking enthusiasts of Nepal.

 This Road to Rara expedition will provide a boost to the Visit Karnali campaign announced by Nepal Tourism Board for the year 2075 BS, said the statement.

 With more than 80 participants and 25 vehicles traversing the rugged terrains of the Himalayas to Manang in 2016, and Lomanthang in 2017, Imagine Nepal has by far been organising the biggest off-road events in Nepal, said the statement.

“This year too, Imagine Nepal aims to take a convoy with similar strength in numbers as it has been taking on the challenge of exploring the west. The road to the west and back is a long one with 1800 kms, that is why, this year Imagine Nepal will be shifting its gears and moving a little out of the hardcore off-road attributes they are known for,” said the statement, adding, “To cater to its participants and stay relevant to the concept of luxury tourism in Nepal, Imagine Nepal plans to introduce two packages for the expedition to Rara, where one will include the hardcore off-roading trip and the other will have the luxury of air travel to cut down on the fatigue of a longer drive.”

The organisers, however, haven’t announced the date of the expedition yet.
