    Adarsha Raj Bhusal

    @adars_fpv · NDRL Season 1 Champion

    Adarsha Raj Bhusal is Nepal's most dominant FPV drone pilot — unbeatable across local college competitions, regional leagues, and national-level events. Competing under the handle adars_fpv, he has won every major drone racing event he has entered in Nepal, routinely finishing with margins that dwarf his competition.

    At NDRL Season 1, he set the fastest lap of the entire tournament at 38.1 seconds and crossed the finish line 17.4 seconds ahead of second place — a margin that reflects not just speed, but a fundamentally different level of line selection, drone tuning, and race craft. Before NDRL, he won his first drone racing competitions at college-level events in Nepal, where he outpaced every other pilot by similarly wide margins.

    Beyond racing, Adarsha is an FPV drone builder — hand-building custom carbon fiber platforms including the GX8-Pyro and Genesis relay drone — and the a working drone cinematographer, with work on feature films, Red Bull-sponsored races, and Nepal Police SAR work.
