How to Get from Jomsom to Jaleshwar

Prepare for a long journey. The 512.3 km trip between Jomsom and Jaleshwar requires some planning, but the scenic transitions make the long hours worthwhile. Leaving the mountains behind, you will drop over 2690 meters down towards the lowland jungles of Jaleshwar. The vegetation changes rapidly from pine forests to dense subtropical greenery. Overland bus travel is the standard mode of transport here, usually taking between 13.8 and 13.8 hours depending on road conditions. Tickets start from $14.

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