Itinerary

1. Day 1- Drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara

   • The journey from Kathmandu to Pokhara by bus is quite an adventure. 
   • Despite the relatively short distance of 200 kilometers, the eight-hour ride feels like a marathon due to the winding and hilly roads.
   • Leaving Kathmandu, the bus slowly navigates its way through the mountainous terrain surrounding the city. The descent into the valley is particularly nerve-wracking, with narrow corners and steep drops.
   • The bus passes through quaint villages and rural towns, offering glimpses of everyday life. The journey to Pokhara involves crossing the Trishuli Bridge via Dumre. It will then take another couple of hours of slow and winding roads before finally reaching Pokhara.
