A new Royal Enfield Classic 350 Gorkha Edition has officially launched in Nepal, following its recent debut in India. This special edition pays tribute to the Gorkha Regiment of the Indian Army, featuring a distinctive military-themed design. The launch was confirmed by Royal Enfield's official distributor, Alpha Automotives, during a grand event in Kathmandu and was unveiled at the NADA Auto Show 2026. The launch date for the Gorkha Edition in Nepal was August 21, 2026, coinciding with the lead-up to the NADA Auto Show.
The Gorkha Edition stands out with a matte military green paint finish, now referred to as 'Gorkha Green', Gorkha Edition badging on the side panels and fuel tank, and the crossed khukri insignia associated with the Gorkha Rifles. Chrome-finished engine cases, exhaust, and chrome wire-spoke wheels complete the retro, regimental-inspired look.
Under the bodywork, the bike remains mechanically identical to the regular Classic 350. It continues with Royal Enfield's 349cc single-cylinder J-series engine, producing 20.2 hp and 27 Nm of torque, paired with a five-speed gearbox. The Classic 350's relaxed, easy-going riding character and comfortable cruising behavior are unchanged, with the appeal here being the new styling rather than performance upgrades.
In addition to the standard features, the Gorkha Edition in Nepal includes modern amenities such as an assist and slipper clutch and a Type-C USB fast charging port. The starting price for this model in the Nepalese market is set at Rs 5.99 lakh.
Alongside the motorcycle, Royal Enfield has introduced the 'Gorkha Collection', which includes riding gear and apparel inspired by Gorkha heritage and traditional Nepali Dhaka weaving.
Additionally, Royal Enfield has confirmed the official pricing for the new Himalayan 450, which ranges from Rs. 10,13,000 to Rs. 10,80,000 depending on the variant. The distributor also announced that its new 'Classic Drive' showroom in Pokhara will celebrate its grand opening on August 31, 2026.
