How to Get from Pokhara to Sahjanwa

Prepare for a long journey. The 285.7 km trip between Pokhara and Sahjanwa requires some planning, but the scenic transitions make the long hours worthwhile. Leaving the mountains behind, you will drop over 822 meters down towards the lowland jungles of Sahjanwa. The vegetation changes rapidly from pine forests to dense subtropical greenery. With no direct flights available, the route is entirely overland. You can take a standard bus for budget travel (from $7) or hire a jeep for a faster, albeit bumpier, ride taking roughly 4.1 hours.

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