There are no trains in Nepal<\/a>, so transport between Kathmandu<\/a> and Pokhara<\/a>
\n is either by bus or by flying.  There are a number of
\ngreat places between
\nKathmandu and Pokhara<\/a> <\/p>\n

, which you should consider if
\nyou have time.<\/p>\n

Buses between Kathmandu and Pokhara<\/h2>\n

The Prithvi Highway is the only road between Kathmandu and
\nPokhara.  It is mainly rough tarmac and dirt in places.  Because of
\nthis the bus journey takes 6 – 8 hours.  The road winds down through the
\nvalley, and the views are great.  There are various army checkpoints along
\nthe way, which can cause a small delay.  Buses are also likely to be stop
\nby Maoists and the driver will make a small donation.<\/p>\n

Basic local buses are the slowest and
\ncheapest<\/strong> option and cost NRS350.  Watch your luggage on
\nthese buses.  There are also quicker mini-buses for a similar price. 
\nAsk at travel agents.<\/p>\n

Slightly quicker, and more luxurious<\/strong>,
\nand the tourist buses.  The best are GreenLine (NRS900) and Golden Travel
\n(NRS800).  Both of these include breakfast or lunch, a bottle or water and
\na newspaper.  Luggage is stored in the bus, rather than on the roof. 
\nGreenLine is the easiest option at Pokhara as they stop at the lakeside area,
\nrather than at the mustang bus stop, which saves a NRS100 taxi ride. Buses leave
\nKathmandu at the Kantipath bus stand, an easy walk from Thamel. <\/p>\n

Flying between Kathmandu and Pokhara<\/h3>\n

Royal Nepal Airlines Corporation (t: 521021) and other
\nprivate airlines fly between Kathmandu and Pokhara ($75, 20 minutes).  For
\ngreat Himalayan views sit on the right-hand side of the plan heading to Pokhara,
\nand the left-hand side of the plane heading towards Kathmandu.<\/p>\n

If you’re feeling flush you can rent a private
\ncar<\/strong> and driver between Pokhara and Kathmandu. Ask at travel agents or
