Raxaul to Pokhara Tour Overview

Raxaul is a convenient starting point for travellers reaching the India–Nepal border from Bihar and nearby parts of eastern India. After crossing into Nepal through Birgunj, the journey continues towards Pokhara by road.

Raxaul → Birgunj → Pokhara

The road journey takes you from Nepal's Terai region towards the hills and Pokhara Valley. Actual travel time can change with traffic, weather, road work, meal stops and the route being used.

For families, couples and private groups, travelling with a suitable private vehicle makes it easier to manage luggage, food breaks and arrival timing.

Travel advice: Do not plan major Pokhara sightseeing on the same day you arrive from Raxaul. Keep the evening light and start sightseeing after a proper night's rest.
