🚙 Why 4WD Jeep is Essential for Kerung Route?

The Kathmandu–Kerung road is not a smooth highway. It is a Himalayan mountain route with:

  • Steep uphill climbs
  • Narrow winding roads
  • Landslide-prone areas
  • River crossings
  • Unpaved sections

✔️ Why choose 4WD Jeep:

  • Better traction in rough roads
  • Safe driving in steep mountain terrain
  • Comfortable for long travel hours
  • Suitable for all weather conditions
  • Reliable for border route operations

👉 That is why Mountain Vehicle Nepal always provides 4WD jeep service for Kerung route travel.

Many travelers confuse these two locations:

  • Nepal immigration checkpoint
  • Final road point inside Nepal

📍 Kerung (Tibet Side)

  • Also called Gyirong Town
  • First town after entering China (Tibet)
  • Chinese immigration checkpoint
