What you'll see

The traditional way to go to Pokhara is by bus. It takes anywhere from 6 ½ to 8 hours these days to reach Pokhara by bus. It stops when the driver needs to use the bathroom, and the only places it stops for food is where the driver gets free food. The restaurants they choose have questionable hygiene along with being cramped in a bus for a very long ride.

The best way to travel to Pokhara is not only easy but really very affordable. The Kathmandu to Pokhara Transfer uses luxury, private vehicles where you can sit back and enjoy the ride. Private vehicles travel faster than a regular bus, thereby getting you to your destination in Pokhara as much as two hours faster.

But it’s not just speed that makes the Kathmandu to Pokhara Transfer the best deal around. Consider these amazing features:
• Luxury private vehicle with a professional driver.
• Plenty of room for luggage.
• Comfortable ride.
• Less travel time so you can enjoy more time in Pokhara.
• Stop when you want to stop. Travel quickly, or stop often to take pictures of the amazing scenery along the way.
• Have breakfast and/or lunch at a hygienic restaurant along the way with good food, not some local place with questionable food at high prices.
• Total environmental comfort, including air conditioning and heat, depending upon the weather.
• No noisy children blowing whistles and crying like generally found on bus
• Not having to sit with local people vomiting from motion sickness as they do on buses.
• No need to deal with high priced and cantankerous taxi drivers either in Kathmandu or Pokhara.
• No need to put up with ear-splitting music that’s from the bus driver’s limited selection.

When you consider all the advantages, why take the bus? You are definitely better off plus have a wonderful peace of mind as you arrive relaxed rather than tired, worn out and cranky from a miserable bus ride. Book your vehicle today!
