Planning Tips
- Getting there — A flight from Kathmandu takes about 45 minutes; overland buses take 10–13 hours. Night buses are generally more reliable as they avoid daytime road blockades.
- Getting around — Walking and rickshaws are the best ways to move around. Negotiate the fare in advance; expect to pay based on time and cargo rather than a set meter.
- Cash access — ATMs are readily available, especially inside commercial bank buildings across the city and along the main commercial avenue.
- Self-catering supplies — For groceries, major options include Bhatbhateni and Central Mall, while local neighborhood shops in the bazaar are best for more traditional items.
