Most parking apps do one thing: help you find a spot. That’s useful, but it’s not revolutionary.
Lahv+ was built differently. It’s not just an app – it’s a shared economy platform that connects three groups of people in a single digital ecosystem:
- Drivers who need parking
- Space owners (commercial lots, plus anyone with a driveway or empty land)
- Local businesses who want to attract more customers by offering parking waivers
Think of it as the Airbnb for parking – but with business‑subsidised spots and community rewards built in.
The problem we saw
In Kathmandu, thousands of parking spaces sit empty every day: private driveways, unused garages, vacant plots. Meanwhile, drivers circle for 15 minutes looking for a place to stop. The spaces exist – they’re just invisible.
And local businesses lose customers simply because parking is too much hassle.
Lahv+ solves all of this by turning parking into a shared, profitable, and discoverable asset.

Attract more foot traffic without expensive ads
Pay with Khalti, cash, or other methods
Pay a small fee only after you earn
Waivers can be full or partial
The shared economy in action
Here’s how the same parking spot can benefit everyone:
- A homeowner lists their empty driveway.
- A driver books it through Lahv+ – they save time finding parking.
- A nearby business offers to waive the fee as a promotion.
- The driver pays less (or nothing). The business gets a new customer. The homeowner earns extra income.
That’s not just parking. That’s a community working together.
Community rewards: turn local knowledge into good
Lahv+ doesn’t just rely on commercial lots. We rely on people like you.
If you find a parking space that isn’t listed in the app, you can submit it. Once verified, you choose:
- Personal reward: Rs 100 credited to your Khalti or eSewa wallet.
- Charity reward: Lahv+ doubles the amount (to Rs 200) and adds an extra Rs 50 – donating Rs 250 to a charity you select from our list.
Your knowledge helps every driver in your neighbourhood. And you get rewarded for it.
What makes this different from Google Maps?
Google Maps is great for many things. But parking is a specialised service. Lahv+ is purpose‑built for:
- Real‑time availability (not just locations)
- Digital check‑in and payments
- Business‑subsidised waivers
- Peer‑to‑peer listings from ordinary people
- Community rewards for adding new lots
And even if Google adds parking someday, they won’t offer a shared economy model or charity rewards.
Built on a philosophy
Lahv+ is an initiative of anka EK, a technology company whose motto is “Technology Coded in Humanity.”
That means we build digital tools that solve real human problems – not just chase trends. We never sell user data. We design for Nepal’s network reality (offline mode). And we reward people who help the community.
Who is this for?
- Drivers who are tired of circling the block.
- Homeowners with an unused driveway or garage.
- Business owners who want a direct way to bring customers in.
- Anyone who wants to turn empty space into active income.
Ready to be part of it?
Lahv+ is free to download. Drivers pay only for parking sessions. Space owners pay a transparent service fee on earnings – but your first 30 vehicles per month cost you nothing.
