Trekking & Mountain Tour Transport in Nepal
Nepal's most famous treks — the Langtang Valley, Annapurna Circuit, and the routes leading to the Everest region — all begin with a road journey. KTM Car Service provides private car transfers from Kathmandu (KTM / Katmandu) to the trailheads, so you start your trek rested and on time rather than crammed into a crowded bus. Our drivers know the mountain roads intimately and carry your gear safely.
Kathmandu to Syabrubesi – Langtang Valley Trek
The Langtang Valley trek is one of Nepal's most accessible mountain hikes, starting from Syabrubesi village, roughly 117 km north of Kathmandu. The drive takes around 7–8 hours on winding mountain roads through Trishuli valley. A private car with KTM Car Service gets you there comfortably with flexible rest stops — no need to wait for a shared bus schedule.
- Private car from Kathmandu to Syabrubesi (~117 km, 7–8 hours).
- Scenic drive through Trishuli and Betrawati valleys.
- Flexible departure time to match your trek schedule.
- Return transfer from Syabrubesi to Kathmandu also available.
Kathmandu to Pokhara – Gateway to Annapurna Treks
Most Annapurna treks — including the Annapurna Circuit, Annapurna Base Camp, and the Poon Hill hike — start from Pokhara or nearby trailheads like Nayapul, Kande, or Phedi. A private car from Kathmandu to Pokhara (roughly 200 km, 6–7 hours) is the smoothest way to reach the trailhead, with the option to continue directly to Nayapul or other starting points without waiting in Pokhara.
- Kathmandu to Pokhara private transfer (~200 km, 6–7 hours).
- Onward to Nayapul, Kande, or Phedi trailheads if needed.
- Return transfer after completing your trek.
- Scenic Prithvi Highway with mountain and river views.
Kathmandu to Jiri or Salleri – Everest Region via Road
While most trekkers fly from Kathmandu to Lukla to access the Everest Base Camp route, some choose the classic overland approach via Jiri (where Hillary's original expedition began) or Salleri in Solukhumbu. KTM Car Service can take you directly from Kathmandu to these remote trailheads — a journey of 180–240 km on winding roads that requires a confident, experienced driver.
- Kathmandu to Jiri (~180 km, ~6 hours) or Salleri (~240 km, ~8 hours).
- Experienced drivers on remote mountain routes.
- Avoid the crowded Lukla flight queues and delays.
- Great option if Lukla flights are cancelled due to weather.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I book a return trip after my trek?
- Yes. We can arrange your return transfer from the trailhead back to Kathmandu or to the airport. Just let us know your expected finish date when booking.
- Do you carry trekking gear and large backpacks?
- Absolutely. Our vehicles have adequate boot space for trekking gear, duffel bags, and group equipment.
- Is a private car better than a shared jeep for trekking transport?
- A private car lets you depart on your schedule, stop where you want, and arrive rested. Shared transport is cheaper but involves waiting, detours, and crowded conditions on long mountain roads.
