Chitwan to Kathmandu Destination Reviews

The operator should provide the mobile charging points as we found with some other operator. Further the bus should stop at a restaurant with reasonable rates rather than at the costliest, as we experienced during our journey. We had expresso @160NPR(tasteless and very dark) and the quantity was less than half a cup...might be 30 to 35 ml.

The bus couldn’t make it up the hill. In the end, we had to be transferred to another bus. We arrived late in Kathmandu.
