How to Get from Jomsom to Aabu Khaireni Bazar

Prepare for a long journey. The 233.1 km trip between Jomsom and Aabu khaireni Bazar requires some planning, but the scenic transitions make the long hours worthwhile. Leaving the mountains behind, you will drop over 2743 meters down towards the lowland jungles of Aabu khaireni Bazar. The vegetation changes rapidly from pine forests to dense subtropical greenery. With no direct flights available, the route is entirely overland. You can take a standard bus for budget travel (from $6) or hire a jeep for a faster, albeit bumpier, ride taking roughly 8.6 hours.

Advice: You are heading into the tropical Terai region. Bring mosquito repellent and wear light, breathable clothing.
