KTM Car Service
Kathmandu to Pokhara Car Service
A road trip from Kathmandu to Pokhara with KTM Car Service combines comfort, convenience, and spectacular scenery. The drive — roughly 200 km, about 6–7 hours depending on traffic and stops — traces rivers, terraced farmland, and rolling hills along the Prithvi Highway. With a professional driver, you can relax and enjoy the landscapes without the stress of navigating mountain roads yourself.
Why Take a Private Car Instead of the Tourist Bus?
Renting a private, chauffeur-driven car gives you flexibility that buses and fixed tours don't: stop for tea at a roadside dhaba, stretch your legs in a small village, or visit a hilltop temple like Manakamana along the way. Professional local drivers know the safest routes, recommended rest stops, and convenient places for quick meals or photo breaks — and you leave when you're ready, not on a fixed departure time.

Arriving in Pokhara
