A Convenient Way to Travel from Pokhara to Kathmandu
101jitendran,Jun 3, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Pokhara to Kathmandu by tourist bus and had a good overall experience. The seats were comfortable, and the bus was clean and air-conditioned. The journey took around 8 hours with a few stops for meals and refreshments. The staff were helpful and the driver handled the winding roads professionally. The views of the rivers, hills, and villages along the way were beautiful. Road conditions were rough in some sections, but the ride was generally smooth. I would recommend this service to anyone looking for an affordable and comfortable way to travel between Pokhara and Kathmandu.
