Tourist Bus Tickets: Kathmandu to Pokhara or Pokhara to KTM

A unique experience

Definitely an experience!! Gets you from A to B very cheaply, don't expect any sleep though. The roads are unsealed all the way there and super rough. A lot of the terrain is super steep too so our teeth were clacking all the way to Pokhara. The seats themselves were very comfy and went back a long way. The bus stopped every few hours (though a strong stomach is needed to use the public facilities on the road!! Make sure you go beforehand!!) The buses honk at each other with a range of different hilarious musical horns, creating a delightful cacophony and adding to the uniqueness of the experience. The pick up / finding the bus was pretty chaotic and random. We had a guide with us to help, which made the process fairly smooth, but I'm not sure how it would have gone down if we hadn't had him. The bus park is a circus of disorganised chaos and we loaded onto the bus amidst a chorus of terrifying horns blaring and buses trying to get past each other. Our bus was actually moving while we got on. Mobility and bravery a prerequisite. The pick up process left a little to be desired but it added to the overall unique experience of the tourist overnight bus! I give 3.5, though the platform won't let me, and most of the issues are to do with the environment and not the actual bus. The staff and the bus were perfectly fine.

Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! It sounds like quite an adventure from Kathmandu to Pokhara. We're glad to hear that you found the seats comfortable and appreciated the uniqueness of the musical horns along the journey. The rough terrain and chaotic bus park definitely add to the thrill, and having a guide to assist with the process seems like a lifesaver! We appreciate your understanding that many challenges stem from the environment rather than the bus itself. Your feedback helps us improve and gives future travelers a realistic picture of what to expect. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon – maybe with smoother roads next time! 😊

Average experience but above average costs

The bus condition was not what I expected - seats were old and uncomfortable. It was dirty. If this was the best bus service then I wonder what’s the other services really like.

Response from the operator: I'm sorry to hear that your experience with the tourist bus ticket service from Kathmandu to Pokhara or vice versa was not what you expected. It's unfortunate that the bus condition was not up to par and the seats were uncomfortable and dirty. However, it's important to note that there are different levels of bus services available, ranging from standard to luxury, and the cost of the ticket reflects the level of service provided. If you are looking for a higher quality experience, you may want to consider opting for a luxury bus service, even though it may come at a higher cost. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and I hope this information helps you make a more informed decision in the future.

Uncomfortable journey

I genuinely think this is the worst bus journey I had so far.. the road is terrible and we took one hour to get out of Pokhara because the bus kept pulling over trying to collect people from the streets, shouting "Kathmandu!". The bus was probably emptier than it should have been and they didn't want to lose money. The stops were: 20 minutes toilet break, 20 minutes coffee break, 20 minutes lunch. So we basically had to rush eating. The windows were so damaged that the noise they did trembling was unbearable. I give two stars because on the way to Pokhara the journey was slightly better.
