Nepali rider Surakshya KC achieved a historic milestone at the third edition of the Extreme Enduro Race held in India by successfully challenging the obstacles.

The race took place at Big Rocks School in Kolar, India, and featured steep climbs, descents, large rocks, technical off-road sections, and highly demanding terrain. Despite falling several times during the race, Surakshya managed to get back up and complete the course.

With this achievement, she became the first woman to finish the race and win a trophy while competing alongside male riders. No woman had previously completed the event.

Her achievement is being seen as an inspiring moment for women in Nepal’s motorsports sector, particularly in off-road motorcycle racing. Surakshya said the accomplishment has strengthened the presence of women in the sport and opened new possibilities for future riders.

Surakshya KC is also a Nepali moto vlogger with over 900,000 subscribers on YouTube.

The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has awarded its ticket to Pukar Bam for Kathmandu Constituency No. 4.

Bam had sought candidacy from Kathmandu-1, where he had contested in the previous election. However, the party has fielded him from Constituency 4 for the upcoming election.

Kathmandu-4 has long been represented by Nepali Congress General Secretary Gagan Thapa. Thapa is set to contest from Sarlahi-4 in the next election, changing the electoral landscape of the Kathmandu constituency.

With Thapa not contesting from Kathmandu-4, the constituency is expected to see a new political contest in the upcoming polls.
