BY CAR
The road network and its quality in Nepal, although slowly getting better, is average at best. These roads also take a severe beating during summer monsoon season. Traveling by car in Nepal can often be an unpredictable experience, but if you are willing to put up with delays and “bumps” there is no better way to experience Nepal up close. Choosing to travel by road also cuts down on your expenses in Nepal.
