Kathmandu Airport to Pokhara Airport Destination Reviews

DW
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.

We left and arrived on time. We made 3 food/toilet stops on the way. The seats were comfortable. The staff was nice. The road is bumpy but that's the case for every vehicle, it's not the company's fault, so I find it weird to see so many people complain about that in comments.

There was no space for legs for people from Europe. There was loud music inside - night sofa bus should allow you to sleep.

At Katmandu bus store I asked for mountain dew he gave me macho dew which looked like mountain dew similar also he charged 100 rs. Which I felt cheated. As I was hurry i dint noticed.

It was very nice, with lovely people on board. The weather was very hot outside, and even with air conditioning on it was a bit hot inside also, but it was ok. The bus stopped 3 times for toilet and eating and it was great. The only downside is that it took 2,5 hours more to arrive, due to the workings on the road. I recommend.
