How to Get from Lumbini to Gorkha

The road from Lumbini to Gorkha stretches over 224.9 km, making it a significant travel day. Prepare for a full day of transitioning between different cultural and geographical zones. 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 $6) or hire a jeep for a faster, albeit bumpier, ride taking roughly 3.3 hours.

Tip: Book your tickets at least a day in advance during the peak trekking seasons (Spring and Autumn) to secure the best seats.
