Travel duration

Most Kathmandu to Langtang coaches take 6–10 hours for about 180 km by road. Tourist and deluxe day buses often feel shorter because of fewer local stops; night sofa coaches trade speed for sleep comfort. Monsoon landslides, festival traffic and highway maintenance can add 1–3 hours. On Lokrio, check the live trip card for that day’s estimated arrival before you pay.
