Building a Browser-Based Bus Driving Game Set in Nepal — SARAZ Travels

By Saraj Dhakal · September 1, 2026

Most of my production work is business software — CMS platforms, ERPs, storefronts. SARAZ Travels (the bus driving game, not the trekking site above) was a deliberate break from that: an interactive, real-time experience instead of a form-and-database app, built with Three.js to explore rendering and controls in the browser.

The premise is simple — "Drive Nepal. Feel the journey." — get behind the wheel and drive a bus through a Nepal-inspired road environment, no install required.

Why build this at all: business systems teach you APIs, auth and data modeling; a driving game teaches you an entirely different muscle — real-time input handling, camera and physics feel with Three.js, and performance budgets that a CRUD app never forces on you. It's the kind of project that's hard to justify on a client invoice but sharpens skills that quietly show up in the "polish" of everything else I ship.
