How to Get from Pokhara to Khadda

Prepare for a long journey. The 241.7 km trip between Pokhara and Khadda requires some planning, but the scenic transitions make the long hours worthwhile. The trip involves a massive descent from the high altitude of 822m 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 $6) or hire a jeep for a faster, albeit bumpier, ride taking roughly 3.7 hours.

Tip: Prepare for a significantly warmer and more humid climate in Khadda. Keep your water bottle easily accessible.
