During Kathmandu to Pokhara or Pokhara to Kathmandu journey, the bus makes stop in only 2 places: One for Breakfast (Malekhu/ Kamalbari) and another for Lunch (Maleku/ Kamalbari) which you need to have it by yourself or explore the nearby places during this break time. For breakfast, it stops for 25 MIN and Lunch, it stops for 30 MIN. Both places offer hygienic food and the most interesting part of these stop is they offer beautiful river bank view with food. Our tourist bus doesn’t stop for local passengers on the highway who wave hand to stop a bus. There are numerous buses which leave from Kathmandu to Pokhara in a day and we are one of them.
If everything goes smoothly then its only 6 hours journey, however, we are traveling by highway so sometime we might face the casualties on the highway so it kills our time and extends our journey time. And the second reason is a traffic jam. Kalanki to Naubise is the place where there are chances of getting stocked in traffic.
