The 3rd Great Himalayan Volkswagen Beetle Rally gets underway Saturday, 10 May and this year the theme is peace. Some 30 Beetles of all ages and from all walks of life will take part in the rally from BICC to Club Himalaya at Nagarkot. This year, the Bugs will be accompanied in solidarity by other non-Beetle VWs, vintage cars and Enfield motorcycles resident in Kathmandu. Money raised will go to the Ganesh Foundation for cleft-lip operations, the Maya Foundation and Shanti Shanti Sangh. Even if you don't have a VW, you can sponsor one. The rally will have prizes for fastest Beetle, slowest Beetle, best Beetle, prettiest Beetle, etc.
