Transportation Etiquette in Nepal

Shared taxis, minibuses, and local buses are the practical way to get around, and you should expect crowded vehicles, flexible departure times, and a lot of bargaining on informal routes. In Kathmandu and other cities, many travelers also use cycle rickshaws, motorbike taxis, and jeeps for short hops or mountain roads, while long-distance travel can be slow because road conditions and weather often disrupt schedules.
