Can you get a bike license as a foreigner?

Namaskar , ma Nepali ho but I was born in the US. I come to Nepal couple times a year bcuz I love it way more than US. US only place to make money but not good culture/people and its not really a good place to live. Anyways I want to ask if I can get a bike license without nepali passport. Is it possible? Specifically Kathmandu?

Also what bikes are good? I have been looking around and I only know 2 bike company in US. Honda and Royal Enfield. I’m thinking of buying maybe Royal Enfield because it looks very strong and long lasting. Is RE a good quality bike? Especially for Nepal roads?

  1. If you have American License, you can directly apply and get Nepalese one. You may need a NRN card, more better if you can get NRN Citizenship. No trail, no written, just submit an application and get DL the same day.

  2. 52. Recognition of driving license obtained in foreign country: If any person who has obtained a driving license from a foreign country makes an application pursuant to Section 48 to drive a motor vehicle specified in the
    license, the competent authority may issue a driving license to such a person, by collecting the prescribed fees for the driving license.
    Provided that, such a person shall not be required to take any examination to obtain the driving license.

    53. Automatic recognition of international driving license: Any person who has obtained an international driving license shall be entitled to drive within Nepal all the vehicles which are specified in the license.
