Video: How the First Car Came to Nepal

This video is certainly a blast from the past. It is a brief look at how the first car was delivered to Kathmandu in Nepal. The vehicle in question was a 1938 Mercedes that was gifted to King Truibhuvan by Adolf Hitler, and was delivered by hand in 1940. At the time, there were no roads in the country, and just a few in Kathmandu itself.

Video: Nepal Now - One Year After the Earthquake

It has now been one year since the earthquake hit Nepal, and over the past 12 months the country has struggled to get back on its feet and get the rebuilding process under way. This video takes us back to the wild, chaotic streets of Kathmandu and the surrounding area to get an idea of where the country is at right now. In some ways, the people of Nepal have come a long way over the past year, and in many ways there is still so much further to go.
