Kathmandu Airport to Pokhara Airport Destination Reviews

GS
There was nothing to confirm I had chosen the right bus, other than someone on the street pointing it out to me. The bus left late, made many quick stops along the way to pickup and drop off items, and the only food provided was a small bag of corn crisps. Some people were chatting on their cellphones loudly or playing music videos.

The bus was not as good as in the picture. The tires were done already.

You pay for what you get. I paid for a sofa seat, still inexpensive given the ride lasted 8 hours. However, despite the large armchair, there was no legroom for such a long journey. The ride was rough, bumpy and unpleasant, but that’s the roads, and would be the same in any vehicle. There were 3 stops, 10 mins, 25 mins and 5 mins, at places where food and drink could be purchased and toilets used. This is the only other real alternative to flying. It’s a tenth of the price, but if you suffer travel sickness my advice: take the plane.

At times overcrowded to the point where one passanger had to stand during the trip (!). The worst part - the driver didn't want to take us to the final bus stand which was specifically mentioned in the ticket we bought.

The seats are comfortable with air conditioning, the staff is nice and we did several stop for toilet and lunch. But be sure about your boarding point and time and call them when you’re there. I was told a different bus number and the bus crossed my stop without picking me up. I had to go to the next stop by taxi, but they waited for me there. They’re nice, just be sure you have all information clearly!

The trip was amazing. The seats were very comfortable, the bus left on time and the staff on board were very friendly and helpful. The best part of the trip was the choice of places to stop along the way for food and toilet breaks. Each place was clean and next to areas of stunning natural beauty. It was a truly memorable experience.

The driver played super loud music for 8 hours. He also told us to get out of the bus at some stop as the only passengers eventhough he drove further till lake side. We were therfore alone as two girls in a very bad district of Pokhara in the middle of the night. Overall a good option for budged bagpackers but not the best for girls. Maybe do tourist bus instead.
