Kathmandu to Pokhara Bus & Flight Options

Destinations in Nepal / January 3, 2021 by fulltimeexplorer / 3 Comments

Figuring out public transportation in Nepal can be daunting. There’s very little information online, and what is listed is vague at best. However, taking the bus from Kathmandu to Pokhara is not as hard to figure out as one would think. Buying tickets is easy and getting to the bus station isn’t particularly difficult, but there are some tips to know before going.

Tips for an Enjoyable Ride from Kathmandu to Pokhara

Airport tips, kathmandu to pokhara bus, how long does the bus from kathmandu to pokhara take.

This is my all-time favorite question. Almost everyone will tell you that the bus ride takes 6 hours. This is a lie. I’m not even sure why people tell anyone six hours. It’s like everyone who is allowed to sell bus tickets had a secret meeting and decided 6 hours was the amount of time tourists wanted to hear. The bus ride takes 10-12 hours on an average day. On a good day, you may arrive in 9 hours. If there’s a straight up miracle, you might get there in 7. Plan for 12 hours in your mind, and you’ll be happy if you arrive early.

How Much Does it Cost?

This varies based on the type of bus you get. I’ll get into that a little further down, but the local bus costs about 300 rupees. The tourist bus costs about 800 rupees ($8 USD). The night bus costs around 2,200 rupees ($20 USD).

Where to Get the Bus from Kathmandu to Pokhara

In Kathmandu, you’ll want to go towards the Ratna Bus Park in order to get the tourist bus. The specific stop is called Kanti Path (pronounced ‘pot’). All of the buses (there will be like 50 of them) will be lined up right on the main road. It’s best if you just show your ticket to the drivers as you walk past. They’ll either tell you to hop on or tell you to keep walking further down. If all else fails, just look super confused. Nepali people are insanely friendly and are accustomed to helping lost tourists. It’s best to arrive 20 minutes before departure in case your bus is all the way at the far end.

For the local bus, you can either go to Kalanki Bus Stop or to Gongabu New Bus Station. Gongabu is fairly easy to navigate. Again, if you look lost, someone will probably come over and ask what bus you are trying to find. I have only taken buses within Kathmandu from Kalanki, so I’ve never navigated the long distance bus area.

Where to Buy Tickets

This is interesting because for most things, you will pay more in Thamel. In this case, you’ll get a better price if you buy your ticket for the tourist bus in advance in Thamel. If you arrive at the bus station without a ticket, drivers will tell you there’s a high demand for seats and only a few left. This tends to leave people in a bind, and they end up paying more. You can buy tickets for the bus through almost any tour agency for 700 or 800 rupees. At the bus station, they’ll try to charge 1,000 rupees.

You can also buy a bus ticket online. This is really helpful if you won’t have time to arrange your ticket when you arrive, or if you like to have everything planned in advance. They cost the same as if you were to buy one in Thamel, and it’s super convenient.

For the local bus, you can’t buy a ticket in advance. Therefore, you’ll need to get to the station early. When I went through Gongabu, they tried to sell me a ticket for 8am when I had arrived at 6am. After insisting, they gave me a ticket for 6:30am, and the bus wasn’t even full. Make sure to get the earliest bus possible even if they give you a hard time.

The Tourist Bus

I highly recommend taking the tourist bus. For a few dollars extra, you’ll get A/C and more space. Ask for a seat near the middle or front. For some reason, they like to put tourists in the back row and it’s super uncomfortable. I always request a window as well (if you’re facing the front of the bus, the right side has better views). The tourist bus is also known for being safer because the drivers don’t drive as recklessly or as fast.

VIP buses have large reclining seats making the journey much comfier. We took Swift Buses to Pokhara one time and it was worth the extra price. The aisles have two seats on one side and one seat on the other side. I was able to curl into a ball and sleep part of the way. The only downfall was that the seats were a little slippery because they were a faux leather. So be sure not to wear slippery pants like my leggings. Tickets for the VIP bus typically cost around $25 each.

The Local Bus

If you’re on a major budget, saving a few bucks might be a big deal. I’ve taken the local bus and honestly, the few extra dollars you pay for the tourist bus are worth it for the extra space. The best part of the local bus is that it’s faster, but it’s also more likely to get into accidents. Sometimes, the bus is actually a van. You’ll be piled in with more people than any van should hold, and the A/C probably won’t work. The worst part is that a lot of Nepali people are not accustomed to traveling by car or bus for long distances, which means they’re more likely to get motion sickness. I’ve never been in a local bus where someone wasn’t throwing up. Last time, a teenage girl next to me threw up about 10 times in the 8 hour journey.

Note: They no longer let people ride on the roof of any of the buses.

The Night Bus

The night bus is a version of the local bus. The tourist buses only leave Kathmandu around 7:00am. Local buses leave throughout the day, including a night time option. I’ve only taken the night bus from Kathmandu to Lumbini, but I’m told it’s almost the same experience since the first half of the journey is on the same road. The bus stops after a few hours for a dinner break, and stops to let some people on or off on route. I don’t get motion sickness very often, but being on the nightbus made me sick. You can’t see out the window since there are no street lights and the roads are windy and fast. I personally would not take the night bus in Nepal a second time.

Is the Bus Safe?

This one is hard to answer. Road accidents are pretty common in Nepal. The fatality rate of these accidents is also pretty high. The road from Kathmandu to Pokhara is often on the side of a hill where one side is a retaining wall and the other side is a cliff. It constantly weaves around blind turns. Drivers in Nepal tend to go fast, and it’s common to pass in areas where you can’t see around a turn. I’ve been on the buses enough times that this seems normal and doesn’t freak me out anymore. Nepali people know how to drive this way, and they drive this route every single day. If you get motion sickness or are a nervous traveler, this might be a long ride.

Always have food and snacks. It’s going to be at least 9 hours, so have a variety of food. I usually ask my guesthouse to pack a breakfast to go for me, and I buy some bananas, peanuts, cookies, and trail mix. There is a stop along the way with hot food. I’ve met a ton of people who got food poisoning from these highway restaurants. I have always gone unscathed, however, I only eat the fried noodles and rice. I don’t ever eat the meat or anything questionable.

You will usually stop two times for the bathroom and once for lunch. I recommend using every toilet you can because you never really know when the next stop will be. If you get stuck in bad traffic it could add hours to the journey. Make sure to have your own toilet paper and purell with you. Highway stops tend to have Asian squat toilets. If you aren’t sure how to use them, you can read my post about Asian squat toilets . At the very least, that blog post will make you laugh.

Entertainment

I always have my phone, a book, music, and a movie (or two) downloaded. It’s a long ride. I also have my power bank charged so that I can recharge my phone if it dies, and I recommend putting your phone on airplane and low battery mode to make sure it lasts longer. Think of this bus as a long term flight.

Kathmandu to Pokhara Flight

It’s also possible to fly from Kathmandu to Pokhara. A flight is a much quicker option for those with a time crunch. The flight is only 25 minutes and since the airport is so small, you only have to arrive about 1 hour before your flight.

How to book a flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara

You can book your own flight in person at the airport or online. You can also book through your hotel or a nearby tour agency. Flights cost about $100 – $150 depending on the time of year. I recommend flying Yeti Air as it’s considered one of the safer airlines in Nepal.

The airports in Nepal are not set up the best. There are restaurants before security, but once you go through security options are limited. Therefore, if you arrive early, stay outside of security at the restaurant. In Pokhara, there’s a nice outdoor space located before security where you can hangout and watch the planes take off. The areas beyond security are not as nice.

Bring snacks with you as flights in Nepal are notorious for being delayed due to weather. I also make sure to have a book or movie downloaded to keep me occupied.

Hi! There are agencies in Thamel who sells the tickets? Is it easy to recognize them? I will fly to Nepal in October and I planned to take a bus to Pokhara. Thanks

August 26, 2019 at 12:01 am

Hey Laura! Usually hotels/hostels can organize the ticket for you. If not, there’s an agency almost every ten feet in Thamel, so it’s very easy! Just buy a ticket a day or two in advance 🙂

6. What are the ticket prices?

From New Jalpaiguri (NJP) [You must be referring to NJP Train Station], you need to take a shared vehicle [Usually Van] or book Ola/Uber till "Panitanki" which is a India / Nepal border situated at a distance of around 30Kms from NJP.

You will be contacted by so many people as soon as you are out of the train station at NJP. If you are family and want to book Uber/Ola, move from them and come to parking lot following arrow signage.

"Panitanki" is in Indian side of border where as for Nepalese side it is called as "Kakarvitta".

You need to cross immigration at "Kakarvitta". Be sure, if you are allowed to cross land border. Usually, between India/Nepal there is a freedom of movement and no Passport/Visa is required, and one can simply to and fro with any government issued photo id.

However, for foreigners, crossing land border might be covered by some rules and policies. Please gather this information before hand. I will update you, if I can gather this info.

Please find below the information as per your questions:

Now Considering your queries from Kakarvitta, because from NJP to Kakarvitta you need to come separately by any share/private vehicle,

A. Usually they leave early morning, last bus around 7:30am to 8:00am. I recommend to have smaller Toyota Hiace which use shortest route than big buses. Bus consumes more time.

Once you cross immigration, you will be approached by bus/van agents or you can hear people chanting, "Kathmandu, Kathmandu". Follow the sound and get into the vehicle.

A. There are morning buses and night buses only. Night buses leave at late afternoon around 03:00pm to 04:00pm. As other smaller vehicles are concerned, you may get it late till 10:00am though I am not sure about this.

A. Plenty of buses and other smaller vehicles. Do not worry about availability or advance booking. If you succeed to cross immigration, coming to Kathmandu is just a normal procedure.

A. Online information is not all authentic and I personally do not trust it 100%, however few gave correct info on their respective website. Please google, "Kakarvitta to Kathmandu bus timetable" and browse some result. I repeat, No advance payment or advance booking. If someone says so, might be scam.

A. Usually it is a 14 to 15 hours journey in big bus which use long route of old highway. However, for smaller vehicle, they use new alternative highway and is a journey of around 9 to 11 hours

A. Night buses are more comfortable with more facilities, hence, they are expensive. They charge in between Nepalese Rupee 2000 to 2500 or some with sofa seat might charge even more.

Day bus are cheaper than Night buses, however they also take in between passengers in highways and stop frequently. Seats are okay but not comfortable as compare to Night buses.

Smaller Vehicle like Toyota Hiace, is even more cheaper or equivalent to day buses. They charge around NPR 1500 to NPR 1800.

Please note that 1 South African Rand is nearly 7 NPR.

One expensive but comfortable journey is by Air.

Once you reach Kakarvitta, hire any available cab on street till "Bhadrapur Airport" and fly from "Bhadrapur Airport" to "Kathmandu Airport". Airfare is around NPR 7000, i.e. 1000 Rand.

Hope this helps to some extent.

Deepak Adhikary

Kathmandu, Nepal

Thank you very much Deepak. This is very helpful.

You mentioned that there are morning buses and night buses. What time do the morning buses leave for KTM?

And the 30 kms drive from NJP to the border, is that about 45 minutes long ?

Its my pleasure Prabhs.

Since we had our own vehicle, we didn't bothered to get detail.

Just remember, this border opens from morning 6:00am to night 10:00pm for passengers crossing border. Hence, even if you arrive early from NJP before 6:00am to 06:30am, you may have to wait for border to open.

Yes, the average time to reach border from NJP is 45mins drive. Prepared for 1 hour depending upon the time and traffic.

Thank you and one more question, please Deepak.

If opt for the morning bus and we are at NJP by 3 AM is there an Ola or Uber or any other mode of transport to take us to the border? At that time of the morning? So that we may then take the 6 am or 7 am bus.

Many thanks for your very informative responses.

Yes, you will find vehicle anytime outside NJP station. However, please be aware of the common practice of Ola/Uber in most of the Indian cities. This is how it works:

"App will show one price. Driver will call or he will wait for your call and he will be asking like, how much price is showing in App and when you say amount, he will add some more amount to the original amount shown in App and says, he will only come if you pay that amount :)

And they won't hesitate to increase unrealistically on odd hours. Be prepared.

At day light morning, average fare from NJP to border is INR 2000. So, at night, they might go up to INR 3000

1 RAND is equivalent to 4.5 INR

If you arrive border by 6:00am, then you can easily get a morning bus.

One confusion in my side..

There is even a chance that, they might switch AC ON, in Toyota Hiace.

Also you will find it till late morning at Kakarvitta.

Hope this helps to certain extent.

Daytime microbusses from Kakarvitta take the shortcut through the Sindhuli Highway.

Night busses (or any large bus) will go through Narayangarh. And it is really not recommended due to construction works and congestion.
