Kathmandu Airport to Pokhara Destination Reviews

Disappointing. Not a tourist bus, just a very old and dirty local bus. Obviously has no AC. Took us to Pokhara.

As good as it gets in Nepal bus... which is a low bar.

The bus was slightly less broken than the road. It’s not a highway, it’s a very rough track with landslides having damaged it all along its route. The road is being upgraded but it’ll be 2-5 years before it’s finished at a guess. We took 12 hours, not the advertised 7 hours. We experienced a blow out (fixed very quickly) and electrical failure. Pitch black, no lights for 45 minutes. The three stars are for the crew, especially the driver, who was excellent. I’d turn up at the bus station to get a better rate too. Watch out for dodgy insurance being auto added by 12GO. You have to select no to remove it as opposed to yes to include it. I tried to request a refund but the website didn’t work. Use 12GO as a guide then go local in my opinion.

A bit confused about allocated seat number vs actual seat numbering. Other than that everything was nice about this booking.
