How to Get from Pokhara to Kapilavastu

Spanning a vast distance of 211 km, the journey from Pokhara to Kapilavastu 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 descending from the higher altitude of 822m in Pokhara down to 107m. You'll notice the weather growing milder as you lose elevation. 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 3.1 hours.

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