Snow and Cold Slow Vehicle Movement at Nepal’s Korala Border

Fresh snowfall and freezing conditions are disrupting vehicle movement through the Korala border crossing in Mustang, MeroAuto reported on November 5. The outlet says roughly 1,200 electric cars remain held up near the crossing, with thick snow on the stretch toward Nechung. Local authorities have deployed equipment to clear the route, but freezing temperatures are complicating the work.

The disruption follows earlier flood damage to the Beni–Korala road, which had already interrupted imports before repairs restored movement late last month. For Nepal buyers waiting on vehicles arriving from China, this is a logistics delay rather than an announced change in vehicle price or availability. MeroAuto did not give a firm date for normal traffic to resume; the timing depends on snow clearance and road conditions.
