Local buses are the cheapest mode of Nepal transportation but the only problem with them is that they are too crowded and start moving only when full to a certain quota.

For tourists, tourists’ buses are comparatively more comfortable. There are few limitations with this mode of transportation i.e. they are operational only on wide inter cities road, secondly it has to be booked few days in advance as it is always full of tourists. Traveling in a rickshaw for a short distance with less luggage and remember to bargain with them. Van, taxis, tempos, motor cycles are some other means of local transportation in Nepal. One can even get the private taxis for traveling or visiting particular places within Nepal.
