Would you be willing to take a bus all the way to Nepal? If yes, you are in for a treat. The new Dehradun Nepal Bus Service was inaugurated on 8 December 2018, Saturday by Pushkar Dhami, MLA from Udham Singh Nagar, and Shri Prakash Ravan, Nepal’s Minister of State from Mahendra Nagar.
Sure, you can simply take a flight to Nepal. But you wouldn’t get to view the scenic vistas of Himalayas by being a thousand meters up in the air. The bus ride to and from Dehradun and Nepal will give you an exciting opportunity to enjoy the swirly ride through the picturesque landscapes Nepal is famous for.
The bus will depart from Dehradun and will drop the passengers at Mahendragarh in Nepal. The picturesque journey will take around 8-9 hours to complete. There is no better point than Dehradun to connect Nepal to India through the land as it is already a popular destination among tourists.
