Engineering the
future of flight.
GarudX Multipurpose Pvt. Ltd. is a drone manufacturer in Lalitpur — designing, manufacturing, and deploying advanced UAV technology for cinematography, industrial surveys, public safety, disaster response, and education. Founded in 2018, we've completed over 300 projects, trained 120+ pilots, and built 9 original drone platforms from scratch.
From flying cinema cameras through Himalayan valleys at 210 km/h to delivering medical supplies to earthquake-affected villages, GarudX is redefining what's possible with drone technology in South Asia and beyond.
What drives us.
Mission-Driven
Every system we build serves a clear purpose — from life-jacket drops for Nepal Police to mapping Nepal's most remote terrain with centimetre-level RTK/PPK accuracy.
Safety First
CAAN-compliant operations, redundant flight systems, and rigorous pre-flight protocols ensure every mission meets the highest safety standards — in the air and on the ground.
Innovation Native
We design and manufacture our own UAV platforms in-house — carbon fiber frames, custom avionics, autonomous navigation — pushing the boundaries of what drones can do in South Asia.
Nepal-Born, Global-Ready
Founded in Lalitpur, tested in the Himalayas at 6,200m. Our platforms and pilots are engineered for the world's most demanding environments — then deployed globally.

Our story so far.
Trishuli Flood Response — Rasuwa & Nuwakot
After the 26 August floods tore through the Trishuli and Bhote Koshi valleys, GarudX deployed in the field at the request of the Ministry of Home Affairs and NDRRMA, flying voluntarily as part of the Hami Nepal-led drone team alongside Nepal Police, the Nepal Army and the Armed Police Force. A reconfigured Skyreaper strung communication and ropeway lines back across rivers that had cut off villages in Nuwakot, and a 1.2 GHz relay module built overnight let a GarudX drone inspect the flooded Upper Trishuli-1 hydropower tunnel before rescuers went in.
Autonomous Drone & AI Navigation Research
GarudX launched active R&D into AI-driven autonomous flight — developing visual-inertial navigation systems, GPS-denied SLAM-based flight, and swarm coordination algorithms. Research targets search-and-rescue automation and infrastructure inspection without human pilots.
Skyreaper Next-Gen UAV Platform
Finalization of the Skyreaper UAV prototype — a modular, next-generation drone platform engineered for long-endurance missions, swarm experimentation, and plug-and-play payload support. Designed and fabricated entirely in-house at GarudX's Lalitpur engineering facility.
International Expansion — Delhi & Oman
GarudX expanded internationally: organized a professional drone race event in Delhi, India, and collaborated with the Oman government to conduct a large-scale drone show and race event. GarudX also delivered specialist drone training workshops for international clients.
Genesis Relay Drone — Mountain Comms System
GarudX developed the Genesis relay drone — a custom UAV system that extends FPV communication range across rugged Himalayan terrain. Purpose-built for mountain film productions and high-altitude search-and-rescue operations where radio LOS is impossible.
High-Altitude Testing — Lobuche Peak, 6,200m
GarudX conducted extreme-environment UAV testing on Lobuche Peak at 6,200 metres above sea level — among the highest altitude drone deployments ever recorded in Nepal. Testing validated drone performance in sub-zero temperatures, thin air, and high-wind conditions.
Major Brand Aerial Campaigns
GarudX executed large-scale aerial cinematography and FPV production campaigns for brands including Mahindra, Vianet Communications, Ford, Jaecoo, and Nimbu Pani. Productions spanned commercial advertising, live-event coverage, and digital content.
Incorporated — GarudX Multipurpose Pvt. Ltd.
After six years operating as a founder-led drone team, GarudX was registered as GarudX Multipurpose Pvt. Ltd. in Lalitpur, formalising its manufacturing, training and field-operations work.
Nepal Police — Flood-Rescue Drone Exercise
GarudX's modified DJI M600 carrying a GarudX-built drop system delivered life jackets in a flood search-and-rescue training exercise with Nepal Police. That exercise led to SkyDrop, GarudX's own SAR delivery system.
NDRL — Nepal Drone Racing League Founded
GarudX founded the Nepal Drone Racing League (NDRL) — Nepal's first organised national FPV racing championship. The NDRL established a structured competitive ecosystem, registered 140+ active pilots, and created a pathway for Nepal's next generation of drone engineers.
Nepal Army & Nepal Police — UAV Training
GarudX was contracted to deliver specialist drone training and operational demonstrations for Nepal Army and Nepal Police, covering FPV systems, anti-drone countermeasures, and disaster-response UAV deployment. Custom drone prototypes were evaluated for active service.
GX8 Pyro — Heavy-Lift Cinema Drone
GarudX engineered the GX8 Pyro — an in-house heavy-lift cinelifter that carries up to 15 kg of cinema camera and lens at speeds up to 210 km/h. Deployed on Nepali film productions for high-speed aerial shots previously impossible with conventional equipment.
Film Industry — Feature Films & Music Videos
GarudX drones entered mainstream Nepali cinema and music video production, executing complex FPV sequences, low-altitude chase shots, and high-speed reveal moves for feature films, OTT productions, and brand campaigns. This period cemented GarudX as Nepal's specialist aerial film unit.
Pioneer of FPV Cinematography in Nepal
GarudX began delivering professional FPV aerial cinematography in Nepal — the first company in the country to bring high-speed, proximity drone filming to commercial productions. Early work on music videos and brand content established the benchmark for aerial production in Nepal.
GarudX Founded — Lalitpur, Nepal
Adarsha Raj Bhusal started GarudX in Lalitpur, Nepal, with almost 5 years of hands-on robotics and FPV drone experience. The company launched as an experimental UAV engineering group focused on custom-built FPV systems and high-performance aerial robotics — the foundation of everything GarudX is today.
