Skoda Kylaq takes on Nepal’s toughest roads – Tinjure, Manang, and Dhorpatan - www.technologykhabar.com

Škoda has successfully tested the Kylaq across some of Nepal’s most challenging and demanding routes, including Manang, Dhorpatan, and Tinjure. These regions are known among Nepali drivers for steep gradients, broken road surfaces, sharp hairpin bends, and rapidly changing weather conditions. By taking the Kylaq through these real-world terrains, Škoda has demonstrated the SUV’s readiness for the everyday challenges faced on Nepali roads. Many of these high-altitude routes are known for being difficult even before the journey begins, which is why many drivers often think twice before taking their own vehicles there. Long uphill stretches, loose surfaces, and unpredictable road conditions mean that a number of vehicles struggle to complete the climb smoothly, sometimes forcing drivers to turn back or rely on alternative transport. During testing conducted by Škoda Nepal, the Kylaq demonstrated how strong power delivery and dependable traction can change this perception, completing demanding climbs with steady progress where many vehicles typically find it challenging to reach with ease. Yet beyond the physical demands of these roads, the journey unfolded on a more human level. In Manang, as the altitude climbed and silence surrounded the mountains, every steady pull uphill felt like reassurance. In Dhorpatan’s raw and isolated stretches, where mornings are cold and the roads unforgiving, the simple act of the engine starting without struggle brought an unexpected sense of comfort. And in mist-covered Tinjure, where fog blurs the path ahead, the feeling of firm control replaced hesitation with quiet confidence. These were not just drives through difficult terrain, they were moments that transformed uncertainty into trust, and challenging roads into unforgettable experiences. On a recent episode of “The FAB Show” aired on Himalaya TV, Manish Ruchal from the Ghumante team, a well-known travel vlogger, shared his journey to Dhorpatan in a Skoda Kylaq and said, “Even on the challenging roads of Dhorpatan, our confidence never wavered. The vehicle’s impressive torque and power handled every obstacle effortlessly, turning the journey into an unforgettable experience.” The Kylaq’s performance across these terrains highlights its suitability for Nepal’s diverse road environment. Built on Škoda’s European engineering foundation, the SUV delivers stable handling, confident grip, and consistent performance even when road conditions change unexpectedly. This real-world testing reinforces the Kylaq’s positioning as an SUV designed not just for cities, but for the mountains and highways that define Nepal. A major contributor to this capability is the Kylaq’s automatic transmission option. This is where a “real automatic,” commonly known as a torque converter automatic, stands out. Used in the Škoda Kylaq’s automatic variant, this system is known for smoothness, durability, and reliability. Gear changes are seamless, without jerks or hesitation, making it ideal for city traffic. At the same time, it performs confidently on highways and steep climbs, offering smooth acceleration and steady cruising. With the tagline “Power for the Peaks,” the Škoda Kylaq represents an automatic SUV built for Nepal’s unpredictable roads. As anticipation continues to grow around the Kylaq’s arrival in Nepal, its proven performance across Manang, Dhorpatan, and Tinjure is strengthening confidence among buyers. For drivers seeking comfort, control, and reliability in one package, the Kylaq is shaping up to be an SUV ready for Nepal’s toughest journeys and everyday drives alike.
