Kathmandu is buzzing — and for good reason. The NAIMA Nepal Mobility Expo 2025, held from August 6th to 10th at Bhrikutimandap Exhibition Hall, is more than just an auto show; it’s Nepal’s grand celebration of mobility, innovation, and the future of transportation. Organized by the Nepal Automobile Importers and Manufacturers Association (NAIMA), this inaugural edition has set a gold standard for automotive events in the country.
With over 50 brands, 35 new vehicle launches, and festival-season offers, the expo is pulling crowds from all over Nepal — from die-hard gearheads to everyday families seeking their dream ride.
Why This Expo is a Game-Changer
NAIMA’s theme, “Powering Nepal’s Mobility Future”, perfectly reflects the balance between tradition and innovation. Visitors are experiencing:
- Cutting-edge Electric Vehicles (EVs) with extended range and fast charging
- Advanced Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) models for performance lovers
- Two-wheelers, SUVs, commercial vehicles, and even vintage classics
Beyond the vehicles, NAIMA has created a beautifully organized space — 48 stalls, wide walkways, customer lounges, and even dedicated parking at Nepal Police Club. It’s not just a show; it’s an experience.
