~1.5 hrs from Kathmandu
Nagarkot sunrise
Mountain switchbacks at 4:30 AM — the Scorpio handles the winding climb to the Himalayan viewpoint in any season.

Manakamana pilgrimage
Popular with Indian and Nepali pilgrims. Winding mountain roads to the cable car base — the Scorpio's 4WD handles the descent on return.

FAQ

Scorpio hire questions

How much does Scorpio hire cost in Kathmandu?
From 60 USD/day for city hire with driver. Airport transfers are 30 USD. Kathmandu to Pokhara is 75 USD/day. All prices include driver, fuel, and all tolls.
What is included in the Scorpio hire price?
The price includes the driver, fuel, all road tolls, and parking. It does not include driver overnight accommodation on multi-day trips — that is charged at 10 USD (NPR 1,500) per night. There are no hidden charges; the quoted price is what you pay.
Can I hire a Scorpio for just one day?
Yes. The minimum hire period is one day. Airport transfers are priced as a single trip, not a daily hire. WhatsApp us your date, pickup point, and destination — we confirm a fixed price in minutes.
Why is the Scorpio popular for Nepal trips?
Nepal's roads range from smooth highways to unpaved mountain tracks. The Scorpio's high ground clearance, 4WD, and powerful diesel engine handle terrain that smaller cars cannot. It is also the vehicle most commonly used by trekking agencies for airport and trailhead transfers.
How many passengers can a Scorpio carry?
6 passengers plus the driver (7 total). Space for 4 medium suitcases or trekking backpacks. For groups of 7+ or with very heavy gear, we recommend upgrading to a Toyota Hiace.
Is the Scorpio good for mountain roads?
Yes. The Scorpio is specifically suited for Nepal's terrain — whether it is the winding road to Nagarkot, the high-altitude route to Muktinath, or off-road tracks near trekking trailheads. Our Scorpio drivers are experienced on all of these routes.
