Kathmandu - Getting There By Road
Emergency breakdown service: None.
Coach services: Long-distance bus services operate from Gongbu bus station (Kathmandu bus station; tel: (01) 435 3030), just off the Ring Road in the north of Kathmandu. A number of private companies run comfortable air-conditioned 'tourist buses' from central Kathmandu to Pokhara, Lumbini and Chitwan National Park. Try Greenline (tel: (01) 425 7544; website: www.catmando.com/greenline), Blue Sky Tours and Travel (tel: (01) 441 1322; website: www.blue-sky-tours.com) or Golden Travels (tel: (01) 422 0036) in the Woodlands Complex on Durbar Marg. The Sajha Yatayat Bus Company (tel: (01) 555 2680) bus service from Kathmandu to Lhasa was suspended in 2006, but it could restart at any time.
