How to Get from Pokhara to Lalitpur

The route from Pokhara to Lalitpur covers a moderate distance of 199.6 km. It is a classic Nepalese route that bridges two distinct areas of the country. 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 $5) or hire a jeep for a faster, albeit bumpier, ride taking roughly 3.2 hours.
