Getting around: questions to ask before booking

Written by

in

NTB describes city buses and taxis, intercity buses and domestic flights as transport options in Nepal. The right choice depends on your destination and the services operating on your travel date.

  • Confirm the exact pickup point, departure time, destination and total price. Save the operator’s contact details and booking confirmation.
  • Ask whether luggage costs extra and what happens if the service changes or is cancelled.
  • For local buses, confirm the destination with the operator before boarding. Sajha services use designated stops.
  • For a taxi, agree on the meter or fare arrangement before starting and keep a note of the vehicle details.
  • Plan the return journey before setting out. Allow room in your schedule for changes, and reconfirm the service near departure.

This is a planning checklist, not a timetable or booking service. Confirm current fares and operating conditions directly.
