Travelling by bus
Prithvi Highway: Pokhara is 200km away from Kathmandu on a road with beautiful views – Prithvi Highway. Bus traffic is very busy here. The so-called tourist buses also run on this line, which are a bit faster and more comfortable than ordinary lines. Even so, the journey takes between 6–8 hours.
