Sunauli To Pokhara by Road

Sunauli To Pokhara by Road
Hello Friend this is Rahul and you are watching your favourite youtube channel Endless Journey.
The Sunauli border is the most popular entry point from India to Nepal, and vice-versa, when traveling overland. However, there's nothing nice about it there. Nothing nice at all. On the Indian side, Sunauli is a dusty town in a poor and inhospitable part of Uttar Pradesh. The road through is clogged with heavily laden trucks and there are touts everywhere. It's recommended that you make the border crossing as quickly as possible. Here are some tips for doing so.
Sunauli Border Crossing from the Indian Side
If you arrive at the Sunauli border on the Indian side, you'll have most likely come by bus from Varanasi or Gorakhpur (the closest main train station, about two hours away). The buses drop passengers in a parking lot a few hundred meters from the border. You can walk, but if you don't want to, negotiate a cycle rickshaw to take you across. Ignore anyone trying to sell bus tickets, it's much better to get them on the Nepal side.
For foreigners, first stop is the Indian immigration office to get a departure stamp in your passport. You'll find it on your right hand side before the border. Second stop is the Nepal Immigration Office at Belahia, Bhairahawa, on the other side of the border. It's again on your right hand side, a short distance after crossing. Nepali visas on arrival are issued there (see tips below for more information).
Lastly, you'll want to organize onward travel. Pokhara and Kathmandu are roughly the same distance away, about eight hours or more. There are a few options for getting there: shared jeep or minivan, or bus. There's a bus station at Bhairahawa, a few kilometers from the border (take a cycle rickshaw).
Day buses from Sunauli leave in the morning, up until 11 a.m., so aim to get there early. Night buses, departing in the afternoon, take longer and arrive at their destination the next morning. You'll also miss out on stunning views!
Traveling to Sunauli from Gorakhpur
It's worth getting out of unappealing Gorakhpur as fast as possible too, so try to avoid staying overnight there (although it's preferable to Sunauli).
Buses to Sunauli depart near the railway station in Gorakhpur. Exit the station and walk straight across to the main road (ignoring auto rickshaw drivers that approach you). You'll find a few buses parked along the road to your right, near the statue of a guy on a horse at the intersection. Ask the drivers which one is going to Sunauli.
The buses run all day, starting from about 6 a.m. They leave approximately every hour, or as soon as they're full.
If you do need to stay in Gorakhpur, there's a row of guesthouses along the main road.
Sunauli Border Crossing from the Nepali Side
Most people arrive at the Nepali side of the border in the afternoon, having taken an early morning bus from Kathmandu. After clearing immigration, continue for about five minutes, and you'll find a U.P.S.R.T.C government bus stand on your right. Look for U.P.S.R.T.C buses with a blue stripe (the green buses go to Gorakhpur and the red ones go to Varanasi). Get on, and pay when you're aboard. Buses to Gorakhpur cost about 100 rupees per person and will depart according to timetable, approximately every half hour.
Although less than comfortable, you don't have to worry about being hassled and ripped off by private bus operators.
Shared jeeps also run to Gorakhpur, but don't leave until full...very full. Often a dozen people will be rounded up and crammed in! The bus, although decrepit, is usually a better (and cheaper) option.
If you're headed to Varanasi either Friday or Sunday morning, the direct express train from the nearby small town of Nautanwa is recommended. It departs at 11.15 a.m. and takes around seven hours. (This train isn't a good option if going from Varanasi to Sunauli, as it arrives in Nautanwa at 10.35 p.m.).
Additional Things to Know: Tips and Travel Warnings
It's possible to walk through the border 24 hours a day, although it closes to vehicles at 10 p.m. and reopens at 6 a.m. However, it's best not to arrive there late at night. You may need to go in search of an immigration officer. Plus, it can be dangerous, particularly on the Indian side. There are often reports of tourists being forced, and threatened with beatings, to buy overpriced onward bus tickets and train tickets that they don't need. Ignore anyone that approaches you.
Currency exchange facilities are available in the vicinity of the Nepal Immigration Office, but watch out for scams involving fake money and black market operators giving poor rates.
Indian rupees of denominations greater than 100 (ie. the new 200, 500 and 2,000 rupee notes) can no longer be used or exchanged in Nepal.
Make sure you carry a couple of passport sized photos for your visa application.
If you're an Indian citizen, you don't need a visa or a passport to cross the border.

Are there any cab services from sunauli to pokhra as we are reaching sunauli around 2pm so we will not be able to get bus.

[@EndlessJourney]

Yes you can hire private taxi.

[@raviani82]

Bhai sanauli se Gorakhpur jate hue sar toh nahin ghoomta jaise Uttarakhand ki bus me ghoomta hai.? Koi pareshani toh nahin high vomiting etc?

[@EndlessJourney]

Sunauli to gorakhpur to plain road hai... sunauli se pokhara ka rasta pura pahad hai aur uttarakhand ki tarah hai.. agar vomiting jisko hota hoga uska dikkat ho sakti hai

[@amitkaul1234]

How is the road from sanoli to pokhra ? Is it steep hill or normal . Could you help to share more details as just want to know the if the it's more steep road . As I will be driving by my own.

[@EndlessJourney]

Yes you can go with your own car. You have to get Bhansaar from sunauli border. Maximum road covers the mountain.. 50-50 % you will get steep road and normal road. In pokhara city don't go Sarangkot with your own car.

[@amitkaul1234]

[@dinadamania9602]

Gorakhpur se Kathmandu pokhra ke liye koi tour pkg nahi hota he???

[@EndlessJourney]

Bahut se tour packages hote hai apko online search karna padega.. Better ye hoga ki aap apne dosto ke sath four wheeler book kar ke ek trip plan kar lijiye wo jyada memorable rahega

[@madman2.017]

Yes

[@azeemshah4487]

Galti se bhi Nepal border me money exchange nahi karwana, they charge very high commission, try to exchange your money from Sonauli any pan wala or Grocery wala will give you best price or Indian currency is working in Nepal,

Aisi baat nahi hai bhai humne Sunauli Border par hi exchange karaya tha aur 100 ka 160 hota hai aur wahi diya bhi

[@vhkotak]

How many km sanoli to pokhra ?

[@EndlessJourney]

Thanks for comment sir. Distance between sunauli to Pokhara is 184 KM.

[@vhkotak]

हमें सोनाली से नेपाल टूर सरू करनी है और वापिस रैक्सोल बॉर्डर से वाराणसी जाना है हम पोखरा अतिवन और काट मांडू देखना चाहते है तो हम किस रूट से जाना चाहिए

[@EndlessJourney]

Aap varanasi se gorakhpur fir sunauli fir pokhara fir kathmandu fir ruxaul fir varanasi kar sakte hai.. Ya fir aap apni journey ruxaul se bhi start kar sakte hai

[@vhkotak]

पोखरा से कहा जाना नजदीक है Katmandu या Ativan

[@EndlessJourney]

Pokhara se kathmandu 201 km hai.. Ativan ke baare me jankari nahi hai

[@RamKumar-es8fe]

Ativan kon si jagah hai bhai?? chitwan hoga

[@subhasispradhan3958]

My flight will reach gorakhpur at 11.30 am. Can i reach pokhara on sama day? How? I want to travel by rented car. I am indian.

[@EndlessJourney]

Distance between gorakhpur to pokhara is 279 km. If you continue driving it will take minimum 8 hours. Sunauli to butwal road is straight. And afterthat more than 150 km rode is on mountain and you can't drive fast.

[@EndlessJourney]

Happy Journey sir ji😍
