How to get here from the airport
You walk towards outside & can either organise the taxi from inside or get one yourself just out the front from the rank. The price difference doesnt change much. At the time the blockade from India with gas and petrol was happening which made prices times by 3 as the petrol was being bought from the black market. You usually pay 400-500 without the crisis but paid 750rupees during this petrol crisis.
Leaving Kathmandu to Pokhara
There is a bus station in Thamel called Kalanki Bus Station which is walkable or get a 3-4 min taxi there. This bus station has buses taking you all over Nepal. We went to Pokhara from here! Its called the tourist bus and costs 1000 rupees and takes 6 hours.
Buses are from Blue Sky Buses
