Vehicles start plying long-haul routes in Kaski, charge exorbitant fares

Although long-distance travel remains banned, both private and public vehicles are moving in and out of Pokhara with passengers.

Restrictions on long-haul travel for passengers across the country are still in place even after the nationwide lockdown was lifted in July. However, in Pokhara, public buses have not only begun ferrying passengers on long-distance routes, but also charging them double the fare.
