Transit

Nepal's public transit is informal and limited. Kathmandu is served by crowded local buses, microbuses and three-wheeler tempos with no metro, and traffic and pollution are heavy. Intercity travel means long bus journeys over mountainous roads or short domestic flights. Renting a scooter, hiring taxis or using ride-hailing (Pathao, InDrive) is common; city cores are walkable but congested.
