NEPAL-LIFESTYLE-AUTO
TO GO WITH AFP STORY "LIFESTYLE-NEPAL-TRANSPORT" BY DEEPESH SHRESTHA
Nepalese automobile owner Satendra Siddhi Bajracharya poses beside his Volkswagen Beetle in Kathmandu on November 11, 2008. Bajracharya, a wholesale grocer, first fell in love with the design classic when he saw peculiar-looking westerners arrive in his neighbourhood in Beetles in the 1970s. 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
