Owning a car is still an expensive affair in Nepal. According to the data published by National Population and Housing Census 2021, only about 3.1% of Nepali households own a four-wheeler (204,990 out of 6,660,841). The vast majority of Nepalese still own two-wheelers - about 27.3% own a two-wheeler (1,816,121 out of 6,660,841). Meanwhile, about 35.2% (2,347,433 out of 6,660,841) own a bicycle.The findings of the census, conducted among 6,660,841 families, or households, were released on March 24, 2023. It was carried out by the Central Bureau of Statistics.In terms of the ecological belt, the percentage of car/jeep/van is the highest in the Hilly belt (60.83%) while the percentage of two-wheeler is the highest in the Terai belt (60.10%). Similarly, in terms of provincial structure, Bagmati province has the highest number of four-wheelers (48.71%) while Karnali province has the lowest percentage (1.48%). Likewise, on the two-wheelers front (motorcycle/scooter), Bagmati province holds the highest percentage (30.87%) while Karnali province has the lowest (1.34%).Moreover, in terms of districts, Kathmandu has the highest percentage of four-wheelers (26.96%) followed by Lalitpur (7.57%) and Kaski (5.72%).

Furthermore, in the two-wheelers category (motorcycle/scooter), Kathmandu has the highest percentage of two-wheelers (14.48%) followed by Rupandehi (5.62%).
