About

I operate a comfortable Toyota HiAce minivan, perfect for families and groups up to 12. I run regular routes between Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan, and also do custom multi-day tours. My van has reclining seats, ample luggage space, and onboard entertainment. I've been driving tourists for 10 years and know how to keep the journey fun and safe.

Market Rate Reference

Kathmandu Pokhara$180–$220/day

Community notes:
Tourist

Paid $195 in March 2026 for a comfortable SUV. Very fair price.

Local

Local rate is around NPR 15,000-18,000. Anything above $220 is overpriced for tourists.

Kathmandu Chitwan$140–$180/day
Based on 218 verified trips
Community notes:
Tourist

Paid $150 for a sedan. Road was smooth, took about 5 hours.

Local

For this route, anything below $160 in a sedan is a good deal.

Pokhara Jomsom$200–$280/day

Rough road — definitely need a 4WD. Paid $250, seemed fair for the difficulty.

Local

This route destroys vehicles. Higher prices are justified due to maintenance costs.

Kathmandu Nagarkot$40–$60/day

Short trip but the sunrise view is worth it. $45 was fair.

Kathmandu Langtang$160–$220/day

Mountain road is intense. Our 4WD driver was amazing. $200 well spent.

Suraj was punctual, professional, and an excellent driver. The Fortuner was spotless and comfortable. He even stopped at scenic viewpoints without us asking. Highly recommended!

Ram navigated the mountain roads to Langtang like a pro. We felt completely safe despite the challenging terrain. His first aid kit and emergency preparedness gave us extra confidence.

Binod picked us up from the airport at 3AM without complaint. His Creta was clean and comfortable. He gave us a great impromptu tour of Kathmandu on the way to our hotel. Excellent value!
