What is Skate Jatra? Skate Jatra is a grassroots skateboarding gathering in Nepal that brings together local and international skaters for a mix of contests, open sessions, and community-driven events. It’s less of a formal competition and more of a cultural meetup built around skateboarding. Where is it held? It takes place in Butwal, Nepal, primarily at Dhunga Skatepark Who is behind it? The event is driven by the local skate community, with support from organizations like Skate Aid Nepal, along with international collaborators and visiting skaters who help grow the event each year. What makes it special? What sets Skate Jatra apart is its authenticity. It comes from a DIY culture where skateboarding has grown despite limited resources. The event creates space for younger skaters, connects Nepal’s scene with the outside world, and turns a local park into a global meeting point. It’s not about big sponsors or production, it’s about community, progression, and representing a scene that’s still carving out its identity. While rooted in skateboarding, Skate Jatra also brings in BMX riders and rollerbladers, turning it into a wider action sports meet rather than a single-discipline event. Thank you Skate Aid Nepal and the Team for the wild Event.
