How to Get from Kathmandu to Dzongka

Spanning a vast distance of 200.7 km, the journey from Kathmandu to Dzongka is a long-haul adventure across Nepal. You will get to witness the incredible diversity of the country's landscapes along the way. The trip involves a massive descent from the high altitude of 1400m down to 0m in the tropical Terai plains. You will feel a dramatic shift towards a warmer, more humid climate. With no direct flights available, the route is entirely overland. You can take a standard bus for budget travel (from $5) or hire a jeep for a faster, albeit bumpier, ride taking roughly 4.1 hours.

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