About the service

4x4 Jeep Hire for Nepal's Toughest Roads

Many of Nepal's most beautiful places sit at the end of rough, unpaved roads. Our jeep rental service gives you a proper four-wheel drive with the ground clearance for broken hill roads, gravel tracks and monsoon mud, driven by an experienced local driver who knows the way to Mustang, Rara and the hills of the east.

Choose a compact 4x4 like the Suzuki Jimny or Mahindra Thar for up to four people, a Toyota Hilux pickup, or a seven-seat Toyota Fortuner, Mitsubishi Pajero, Mahindra Bolero or Land Cruiser when the whole family or group is travelling. Planning a pilgrimage to Muktinath? See our religious tour rental.

Jeeps are rented by the day, from a single day out of the valley to a multi-week expedition. Tell us your route when you book and we'll help you choose the right vehicle, or call us to plan the trip together.

Questions About Jeep Rental

Quick answers before you book

Which jeep should I choose for Mustang?

For hill roads and rough routes such as Mustang, Rara or Ilam, choose a 4x4 with good ground clearance, like the Fortuner, Pajero, Hilux or Land Cruiser, and we recommend booking it with a driver.

Yes. Every jeep can be booked with an experienced local driver for Rs 2,500 a day. On overnight trips, the driver's meals and lodging are arranged by you.

We recommend one. Mountain roads in Nepal can be narrow, unpaved and hit by landslides, especially in the monsoon, and our drivers know the routes and the conditions.

It depends on the model: the Jimny and Thar LX seat four, the Hilux and Thar Roxx five, and the Fortuner, Pajero, Bolero and Land Cruisers seven.
