Detailed Route Guide

The road from Dhulikhel to Salleri stretches over 275.7 km, making it a significant travel day. Prepare for a full day of transitioning between different cultural and geographical zones. You will be ascending from an elevation of 1550m up to 2390m into the mountainous regions of Koshi. The air gets noticeably thinner and crisper as you ascend into the highlands. With no direct flights available, the route is entirely overland. You can take a standard bus for budget travel (from $7) or hire a jeep for a faster, albeit bumpier, ride taking roughly 5.5 hours.
