NDRL & WRL
Nepal's Premier FPV Drone Racing Leagues
Founded and organized by GarudX, the Nepal Drone Racing League (NDRL) and Whoop Racing League (WRL) are Nepal's highest-level FPV competitions. Open Class for elite custom-build pilots. Micro Class for precision indoor racing. 140+ active pilots. Backed by Red Bull, Vianet, and Orion.
NDRL Season 1 was won by Adarsha Raj Bhusal — Nepal's best FPV pilot and drone builder — with a dominant 17.4-second margin over second place. Season 2 registration is now open with international pilots from across South Asia confirmed to compete.
Best FPV Pilot in Nepal
@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 Nepal's best FPV drone builder — hand-building custom carbon fiber platforms including the GX8-Pyro and Genesis relay drone — and the country's leading drone cinematographer, with work on feature films, Red Bull productions, and Nepal Police deployments.
