Domestic Transportation in Nepal
bus
Nepal has a network of roads throughout the country, and many points can be reached by bus.
Routes such as Kathmandu ⇒ Pokhara, which are visited by many tourists, have tourist buses that are more comfortable than local buses.
In recent years, there are also wagons using Toyota Hiace such as microbuses.
This one is faster than other large buses.
Local buses within the city will take you to the main tourist attractions.
Route maps are difficult to understand, so ask people around you which bus to take and they will be kind enough to tell you.
cab
Cabs in Nepal are easily recognizable as cabs with their distinctive white bodies and yellow roofs.
Cabs are metered, and travel guides and traffic information state that they are "metered.
However, there are almost no cabs that will take you to your destination on the meter, and even local Nepalese have to negotiate the price.
If you don't use a meter, the price is about 300 rupees for a 15-minute drive, but if you are a foreigner, the asking price is about 500 rupees.
Therefore, when using a cab, it is essential to negotiate the price before boarding.
domestic airline (company)
Nepal's domestic network is centered in Kathmandu.
Although more expensive than bus travel, it saves time and, depending on the route, allows passengers to see the Himalayas from the plane.
The seats will be on the right side when traveling from Kathmandu to Pokhara and on the left side when traveling from Pokhara to Kathmandu.
In the past, flights were easily affected by weather, but now some flights connecting major cities are operated at night.
However, flights to mountains such as Lukla and Jomsong are weather dependent.
It is necessary to schedule your visit with sufficient time to spare, especially during the rainy season.
In recent years, due to congestion at Kathmandu airport, there are more and more routes that allow direct travel between cities without going through Kathmandu, such as Pokhara to Bhairawa (Lumbini) and Pokhara to Bharatpur (Chitwan).
Night flights have also begun in some cities in the direction of the Tarai Plain, making air travel more convenient.
Phatao, a car-dispatch service in Nepal
Good news for travelers is Phatao, a car-dispatch app that has seen a surge in users over the past few years.
Phatao is a car-dispatch application similar to Grab in Japan, which cuts out the tedious price negotiations when using rickshaws or cabs, greatly reducing stress when traveling.
This service is only available in urban centers such as Kathmandu, but it is quite nice to know that there is no price negotiation.
rickshaw
A rickshaw is a rickshaw with a bicycle in the front and a seat in the back, and is a popular vehicle not only in Nepal but also in India.
Because it is human-powered, it is not as fast as a car, but it is a relaxing way to travel around the city, taking in the cityscape and the breeze.
It is a convenient vehicle once you get used to using it, as it can go into secluded alleys where you can't get in by car and is very maneuverable.
tempeh
Auto three-wheelers called "tempo" are used in Nepal as a means of transportation for citizens, just like local buses.
It looks like an Indian auto-rickshaw or a Thai tuk-tuk, but it is slightly larger in size and can accommodate around 10 people in its seats.
The route is written in Nepali on the body of the car, and like a local bus, it runs on a fixed route, but there are no fixed stops, and you can get on and off anywhere.
rent-a-cycle
There are several bike rental shops in Kathmandu.
If you are too far to take a cab or are tired of negotiating prices with rickshaws, we recommend renting a bicycle to enjoy sightseeing in the city at your own pace.
Bicycling offers a different perspective on the city than either driving or walking.
Prices vary from store to store, but can be rented for about 100 rupees per day.
