NEPAL-LIFESTYLE-AUTO
TO GO WITH AFP STORY "LIFESTYLE-NEPAL-TRANSPORT" BY DEEPESH SHRESTHA
Nepalese passengers ride on a Mercedes Benz bus along a street in Kathmandu on November 11, 2008. Some 200 Mercedez buses still which were left by Hippy travellers in the 1970's still roll along the streets of the Nepalese capital. Nepal was the end of the line for the thousands of overland hippie travellers who made the arduous road trip from Istambul to Kathmandu through Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India on Mercedez buses and Volkswagon vans in mid 1960s. After they arrived, many sold their vehicles to wealthy residents of the capital to fund further travels, shady drug and antique deals or the trip back home. AFP PHOTO/Prakash MATHEMA
