Your detailed vlog made me feel like I was right there with you. And you won’t believe it - after watching, I've planned a trip to Nepal by car 😊 , Thanks for sharing, wish to see more and more for such long road trips .
Please follow Google Maps till Sitamarhi. You may then crossover to Nepal across Bhittha Mor border crossing. This is if you want to go to Janakpur where we went.
We upgraded from Ecosport diesel. My husband test drove cars for 2.5 months in the segment of Creta to Safari and finally settled for this. He says this has the best balance of accelerator responsiveness and engine braking. Very good stability at high speeds, very planted owing to monocoque design. Superb clutch feel for a 2.2 L diesel. And tremendously comfortable seats. For the first time he is not complaining while driving 😄
No separate RTO permit required..all permits to be taken from the border..we had paid 3600 Nepali taka for 6 days permit. From 30 mins in the video you can watch the video for more details ☺️

I also have XUV700. I am very passionate for Road trip with my Car. Planning to go Bangalore by Road.
Awesome..Bangalore by road will be great..all the best to you..😊
Very informative vlog. Which is the best border to cross to Nepal if one is driving from Pune?

Very nice and detailed video. If one is not ok driving for 13.5 hours at one stretch, then what would be the best stay option on the way ?
Please choose between Raiganj and Forbesganj depending on your comfort level.
If you want to reach Darbhanga in two days, then Malda is mid-way.
Very nice 👍
Thank you..😊
Booked and waiting for the same car same ax5 diesel manual variant
How is the overall experience?
Also what was the waiting period

@@JournalOfACuriousExplorer Wow great, Happy for my purchase decision
All the best..enjoy your drives 😊
Wonderful and informative.
I want to ask - the car is in my mother's name, and I will drive . Will it be an issue to get the car permit in the border?
That will not be an issue..you just need all the documents I mentioned and your license..and it will be fine..😊
RTO permit was not required? How much it took on the border for issuing vansar?

Is it diesel car? How is the mileage?
Yes..this is diesel..if driven at 100 kmph, then it's giving 16 kmpl and in city it's 13.5 - 14. All of this is with full time AC on.

Hi is ur XUV700 AWD OR FWD
FWD. It is a AX5 7str Diesel Manual. We felt this is the best VFM model in the XUV700 lineup.
