How to Get from Lumbini to Chandragiri

Prepare for a long journey. The 293.1 km trip between Lumbini and Chandragiri requires some planning, but the scenic transitions make the long hours worthwhile. The terrain remains consistent without drastic altitude changes, keeping you at roughly 0m. This makes for a smoother physical transition compared to high-altitude mountain routes. With no direct flights available, the route is entirely overland. You can take a standard bus for budget travel (from $8) or hire a jeep for a faster, albeit bumpier, ride taking roughly 4.8 hours.

Advice: Try to grab a window seat to enjoy the changing Nepalese countryside unfolding right before your eyes.
