Final Thoughts
The First day of NADA Auto Show was quite hard to enter as there was no place to park your vehicle and it was steaming hot inside, the workers and employees were drenched in sweat. Moving aside, the vehicles showcased there were fantastic. The employees provided us with detailed information about the launched and expected vehicles in Nepal. Automobiles that were expected to launch after few month were also showcased allowing us to gain a insight to how it is and if the Pre-booking starts or not.
The Whole area was large enough for Automobiles, Police, Banks, Hospital branches, Accessories stalls, and so on to fit. So that you know – everything you require or are in search within the vehicle is provided within walking distance.
