Details
British Gurkha’s Nepal (BGN) current vehicle fleet requires replacing. The north of Nepal is dominated by the Himalayan Mountain Range; this region is sparsely populated and requires reliable vehicles with off road capabilities. The middle band of the country is hilly and more densely populated, including the two largest cites, Kathmandu and Pokhara where two of BGN’s camps are situated. The southern strip of the country, bordering India, is comparatively flat but again, densely populated. Both regions also require transport capable of traversing in off road conditions, particularly in the monsoon season. Roads throughout Nepal often lack tarmac, including in population centres. The road quality varies drastically from tarmac to potholed dirt tracks. There is a requirement for 4 x 4 vehicles to ensure BGN can meet its outputs across all geographic regions. The new fleet should comprise of the following:
1. 8 x Passenger conveying 4x4
2. 10 x Closed cab goods conveying 4x4
3. 2 x Open dual cab goods conveying 4x4
4. 3 x Ambulatory 4x4
5. 1 x Combination Van
6. 2 x Delivery Van
7. 1 x Baggage Truck
8. 1 x Coach
9. 3 x 19-Seater (+1) Minibus
10. 1 x 21-Seater (+1) Minibus
11. 1 x Water Tanker
