Pokhara to Syauli Bazaar Transport Guide

Plan your journey to the lower trailhead by the Modi Khola. Compare private transfers, local bus departures, and trail entry logistics.

Transport Options

Private Jeep Transfer
Duration: 2 to 2.5 hoursCost: $90 to $110 USD total

Fast and direct. Bypasses the public bus transit wait times and drops you directly at Syauli Bazaar checkpost.

Local Shared Jeep / Bus
Duration: 3 to 4 hoursCost: NPR 500 (~$4 USD) / seat

Leaves from Pokhara bus park. Cheaper, but expects frequent stops and tight space.

Hiking from Syauli Bazaar

Syauli Bazaar (1,220m) sits alongside the Modi Khola riverbed. If you choose to start your hike here rather than Kimche, prepare for a longer, steeper climb up to Ghandruk (approx. **3 hours of uphill stone stair climbing**). It is preferred by trekkers who want a longer walking day or wish to follow the river route directly towards Tadapani.
