All the way from Jharkhand (JH), India to Kathmandu…with two identities…perhaps suitable for a society that is being engulfed by the rise of identity based politics. Spotted in downtown Kathmandu last week.
Na A Chai 3093- means the vehicle entered Nepal via an entry point in Narayani zone in Chairta month. :: JH 06C 1122- means that the car is registered in Jharkhanda, India.
It was on the day of Holi festival that I spotted this Scorpio in downtown Kathmandu.

Its very common, you must have known it. Na a cha ….. is the temporary no. given to indian vehicle entering Nepal.
You got it all wrong Mr. Wagle
That vehicle isn’t registrations in Narayani Anchal.
That green plate is a Temporary Number plate given to all Foreign vehicles that enter into Nepal for more than 15 days.
In Na.Aa.Chai.
NA. stands for Narayani which means that vehicle entered Nepal from Raxual border.
Aa. stands for anchal
and Chai. stands for Month of Chaitra.
That vehicle has to return that number plate when it will return back to india after 15 days.
If you are thinking that its an illegal activity, then it is not. Its rule of GOv. of nepal to have temporary license plate on each vehicle.
LOL. I had absolutely no idea about that “Chai” thing! Thought that was some kind of weired mistake- instead of Cha. Thank you, Tajim, for pointing out that to me. I’ll correct that in a while.
No, I didn’t think that was illegal. I just found that interesting enough to take a photo ЁЯЩВ
