Reviews
The bus seats are comfortable. We left on the dot and arrived in Pokhara after 9 hours. The road is very bumpy tho so you have to take note of that. We had several stops so you’ll never get hungry.
Overall, the bus is comfortable with A/C and frequent toilet / coffee breaks for the long journey. The road however was so bad that the whole journey is very bumpy.
The most luxurious bus in Nepal, this 8-hour journey includes lunch and 3-4 rest stop areas. Experience the local culture and scenery by bus.
There were a lot of rest stops, which was helpful! It was nice that the toilets along the way were free to use. At each rest stop, you could buy hot drinks, snacks, sweets, etc. I was able to buy enough food for a slightly longer lunch break. The bus shook quite a bit, so I had to be careful not to drop my luggage.
I recently took a tourist bus to Pokhara and had a fantastic experience. The journey was impressively safe, even on the off-road sections, which can often be bumpy. The bus itself was quite comfortable, with spacious seats that made the long trip enjoyable. We also had ample time for breaks, including toilet stops and a leisurely lunch, which allowed us to stretch our legs and recharge. Overall, I highly recommend this bus service for anyone traveling to Pokhara—it combines comfort with reliability, making for a pleasant trip.
A very bumpy 10-hour trip from Kathmandu to Pokhara, bus departed punctually, lunch was surprisingly plesant.
I booked and traveled comfortably. However, please note that it's not a buffet. It's more like a self-serve dal bhat. It's not a 4-star hotel buffet, just dal bhat, and locals eat it for even less... Just so you know before you go.
The chairs were nice and plush. Stopping at rest stops about 4 times in between made it not boring, which was great. However, the Klook reservation voucher didn't have a seat number and the driver didn't seem to understand the voucher very well.
As stated in the product composition, 1L of bottled water and a buffet lunch were provided, and the lunch was quite delicious. The sofa was very soft, so I stayed for 8 hours without difficulty. The staff kindly guided us through everything without any difficulties. I am satisfied.
The bus was punctual and left on time but it did a lot of stops along the way which took quite some time and added to the already long travel time. The bus is also old and it was dusty inside. Despite this it took is to Pokhara safely
