-
Only 28 seats (2×1 configuration) → extra legroom and privacy

Reclining sofa-style seats that feel like business class

Modern AC coaches with experienced drivers

Free WIFI
-
Perfect for people who want comfort without paying for a private car or flight
This route is extremely popular among international tourists, Indian visitors, and Nepali travelers heading back from Pokhara after a trek, paragliding, or lakeside vacation.
