Be careful when booking if you’re booking one of the local busses or a VIP bus. We have booked a local bus that took 12 hours (including two breakdowns of the bus), smelled strange, was rather old and uncomfortable (no proper seats but bunk beds) and did not go faster than 60 km/h. Bring some time and patience when booking a local bus and lower your expectations.

Arrived 4.5 hours late, the coach had no curtains so was boiling hot in the sun. Had air con but not very effective. Two people to a ‘bed’ which as average sized westerners was not very comfortable. We made many stops. One stop we were at for close to two hours, no indication as to how long we would be there, whether it would be long enough to eat a proper meal, so went for the whole 10.5 hour journey on only crisps. They also allow locals selling giant, very pungent sticks of meat on board every few hours which is not pleasant for us as vegetarians. Fortunately there was still a hotel open for us to check into as it was gone midnight by the time we arrived.
