I used Himalayan Travel Leaders for the bus journey from Kathmandu to Lumbini, and the experience was very positive. The trip was well organized from start to finish. The bus was comfortable and clean, the departure was on time, and the staff were helpful and attentive throughout the journey. Despite the long distance, everything ran smoothly and safely.

A shrink to find the bus at Kathmandu station, you must ask the people who are there!
