DO NOT BOOK with this company!!

Zakaria_R, Dec 2025
Do not book with this company. I was told to arrive at 6:45 am. I get there and see bus driver who says bus won’t be leaving til 7- 7:30. I see him washing bus so I decide to get tea. At 7:30 I still see him doing nothing just hanging out. When I approach him to inquire I’m told bus won’t be leaving. Luckily another bus was departing g and I was placed on that bus which departed at 8. Waste of my time and most importantly I could’ve been stranded had I not inquired. All the reviews that mention the bus change are accurate. Save yourself some worries and book elsewhere.

We’re very sorry for the frustration and time wasted. That day there were unexpected operational issues, which caused delays and a last-minute bus change. We sincerely apologize for the poor communication and inconvenience this caused. Your feedback is taken seriously, and we’re working to ensure clearer updates and better coordination so this does not happen again.

Travel friendly and good atmosphere. Excellent experience. Only suggestion, intermittent 4 or 5 stops should be avoided.

Thanks for wonderful review

DO NOT BOOK THIS SCAM COMPANY

Ohjonny1992, Jul 2024
DO NOT BOOK THIS COMPANY!! they switched buses on us & didn’t match picture at all. Driver was drinking at pit stops and ended up being drunk towards end of trip. They didn’t drop us off at the location that was promise, so we took a taxi. & the tour operator never answered me back for pick up location in Pokhara via Viator or WhatsApp. I plan on taking further action asap. Book else where for a few more dollars. Thank me later. 0 stars!

Dear Sir/mam We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Please know that the safety, comfort, and satisfaction of our guests are always our top priorities at New Road Travels and Tours. We take your claims very seriously. It is strictly against our policy for any driver to consume alcohol during service hours, and we are launching an internal investigation to address this issue immediately. If confirmed, strong disciplinary action will be taken. Regarding the bus change — sometimes, in rare cases of mechanical or operational issues, we are required to switch buses for the safety of our passengers. However, we always strive to provide equal or better alternatives, and we regret if the replacement vehicle did not meet your expectations. We also sincerely apologize for the communication gap regarding your pick-up and drop-off locations. That is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we are working to ensure better follow-up and coordination in the future. Please reach out to us directly at [your email or contact info] with your booking details. We would appreciate the chance to make this right. Kind regards, New Road Travels and Tours Pvt. Ltd.

Terrible journey

Laszlo_L, Oct 2022
Nothing short of false advertising, the seats were not like on the photo. I arrived at the bus station early to ensure I have a window seat then they asked me to move near a lady with a child so 3 of us sitting on 2 seats. It was evident they were picking up local travelers for cash so it took 9 1/2 hrs the 200 km journey. No English speaking staff member on board. Not happy!
