How to Book Pokhara Bus Online

The Kathmandu to Pokhara bus is one of Nepal's most-booked journeys. Online booking has become reliable and is now the standard for tourist-class services.

Overview

Greenline Bus, Sajha Yatayat, and several private tourist operators all offer online booking through their own websites. The journey is 200km and takes 6 to 8 hours depending on the route (Prithvi Highway is standard) and traffic through Mugling. Tourist bus tickets are NPR 800 to NPR 1,500 depending on operator and comfort class. Booking 1 to 3 days ahead guarantees your preferred seat -- front-left or mid-left for views. The Greenline booking portal is well-maintained and accepts international cards. For last-minute bookings, Thamel travel agents can confirm seats on the morning of departure for most operators. Print or screenshot your ticket; physical tickets are not always issued.
