The Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) announced on Sunday, March 1, that it will operate a free shuttle bus service on March 5 to help domestic and international travellers reach Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) amid transport disruptions during the national elections.
Nepal will vote this Thursday to elect the 275-member House of Representatives, the Lower House of the Federal Parliament.
The shuttle service will run from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m., linking the airport with major hotels and key locations across the Kathmandu Valley. NTB said the initiative aims to ensure smooth travel for tourists and passengers on election day.
The shuttle will operate along three routes:
Route 1: Nepal Airlines Corporation, New Road, Kantipath, Thamel, Lainchaur, Malla Hotel, New Bazaar, Shankar Hotel, Radisson, Durbar Marg, Yak & Yeti, Nagpokhari, Gaushala, and Dwarika Hotel.
Route 2: Maharajgunj Chowk, Narayanthan, Ramada Hotel at Dhumbarahi, Chabahil, Hyatt Regency at Boudha, Jorpati, and Gaushala.
Route 3: Kupandole, Himalayan Hotel, Tripureshwor, Kalanki, Soaltee, Ekantakuna, Satdobato, Royal Tulip at Gwarko, Tinkune, and New Baneshwor to Everest Hotel before returning to the airport.
The board has also provided bus numbers and contact coordinators for each route to assist passengers in planning their journeys.
Sunil Sharma, Acting Director of NTB, urged travellers to use the service to reach the airport on time and ensure safe travel on election day.
The government has restricted vehicular movement, except for those providing essential services, on election day.
