  1. Found somewhere :

    To obtain a Nepali driving license as a foreign citizen, the process typically involves the following steps:
    If you already have a driving license from your home country, you can convert it to a Nepalese license. This requires the following documents:
    Your passport
    A photocopy of your residence permit
    A letter from your embassy (No Objection Letter)
    A signed and stamped form, which can be done with the help of a Nepalese friend
    Two photos
    Your current license and its photocopy
    If you do not have a license from your home country, you will need to take a driving test in Nepal.
    The cost of obtaining a driver’s license in Nepal is approximately $100, and the process may take a few days.
    It’s important to note that an international driver’s license or a license from another country is not sufficient to drive in Nepal. You need to have a Nepali driver’s license to legally drive in the country.

    Additionally, you can apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) to drive in Nepal. The IDP is a translation of your national driving license and allows motorists to drive vehicles in foreign countries. You must always have your IDP along with your national license at all times.
