Banning of diesel tempos (small 3 wheeler taxis) in Kathmandu

Polluting Diesel Tempos:
3 wheeler diesel-run taxis called Vikram tempos were a big source of pollution in Kathmandu. Explore Nepal played a successful role to ban such tempos from Kathmandu.

Our Activities:

• Assertive daily protests and signature campaigns.
• Seminars and workshops with schools and institutions.
• Extensive media campaigning.
• A petition to the Supreme Court of Nepal.

The Impact:

• Polluting diesel-run Vikram Tempos were banned from Kathmandu Valley.
• Electric tempos have now replaced the diesel ones.
