How to Get from Kathmandu to Gaur

Traveling the 196.6 km distance from Kathmandu to Gaur offers a typical Nepalese travel experience, balancing travel time with beautiful roadside scenery. Leaving the mountains behind, you will drop over 1400 meters down towards the lowland jungles of Gaur. 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 $5) or hire a jeep for a faster, albeit bumpier, ride taking roughly 3.5 hours.

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