I used Himalayan Travel Leaders for the bus journey from Kathmandu to Lumbini, and the experience was very positive. The trip was well organized from start to finish. The bus was comfortable and clean, the departure was on time, and the staff were helpful and attentive throughout the journey. Despite the long distance, everything ran smoothly and safely.

The movies they had showing during the trip were these awful, super violent South Indian movies that were disturbing, disgusting, and inappropriate. Show some good films instead of this garbage trash bullshit. I’m truly disturbed.

The bus arrived and started its way 40mins before time. I didnt get any information about it. Boarding place was unclear, i tried to contact to hot line but i didnt get any helpful informations. Consultant told me that i should wait on a side of the road around 6p.m. If i wouldnt Call them i would miss the bus which supposed to be at 7 p.m. Service left much to be desired.
