SELF-DRIVE ROUTE

Pokhara Lumbini

Birthplace of Buddha and a UNESCO World Heritage Site — a peaceful day trip into the Terai lowlands.

Distance

203 km

Drive Time

~6 hrs

On a Single Charge

Comfortably within range for every EV in our fleet, one-way on a single charge.

The Road

Same road as Butwal for most of the way (Siddhartha Highway), then a short, flat run further into the Terai lowlands.

Charging Along the Way

Every trip starts with a full charge in Pokhara — NEA operates a station at the Kalika petrol pump, plus there are plenty of private charging options around the city.

A genuinely confirmed one — Lumbini has Nepal's largest solar-powered charging station (16 vehicles at once, including DC fast plugs), plus an NEA DC fast station at Butwal Buspark on the way in.
