How to Get from Biratnagar to Gyagya

Prepare for a long journey. The 667.6 km trip between Biratnagar and Gya'gya requires some planning, but the scenic transitions make the long hours worthwhile. This route takes you higher into the Himalayas, climbing steadily from 72m to 4471m. Expect spectacular mountain views as the elevation rises. Overland bus travel is the standard mode of transport here, usually taking between 11.3 and 11.3 hours depending on road conditions. Tickets start from $18.

Advice: Keep a warm down jacket handy in your daypack, as the temperature will drop sharply as you gain high altitude.
