The much-anticipated road show Radio On Wheels, organised by Radio Kantipur with Xtreme Energy as its title sponsor, turned Pokhara’s tourist hub Lakeside into a festive venue on Friday evening. The event, filled with music, dance, comedy and giveaways, drew a large and enthusiastic crowd.

The Radio On Wheels journey, which began in Nepalgunj, reached Pokhara after travelling through Dhangadhi, Surkhet and Butwal. In Pokhara, a mini road show was held in the morning at Pokhara University, followed by a special main event in the afternoon at Hallan Chowk, Lakeside.

At the Lakeside event, the audience swayed to popular songs by singers Shiva Pariyar and Bishwo Nepali. Comedian Raja Rajendra Pokharel kept the crowd in splits with his sharp and entertaining performance. Adding further vibrancy to the evening were dance performances by Dance Champion Nepal winner Barsha Phuyal and Season 1 winner Rosika Raut.

During the event, Pokhara resident Purna Bahadur Gurung won a special four-day, five-night package along with a ticket to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup to be held in February–March, through a lucky draw. The package also includes round-trip travel. According to the organisers, participants who purchase Xtreme or Max Tiger energy drinks at all 15 Radio On Wheels venues are eligible for the lucky draw.
