Your Perfect Travel Partner This Dashain & Tihar
In the festive season, traveling is more than going from one place to another. It’s a tradition to be a part of the celebrations and take blessings from our parents and relatives. For this season, the majority of people leave Kathmandu valley to celebrate Dashain and Tihar with their loved ones. That's why it is very important to have a comfortable travel partner.
Challenges of Using Public Vehicles and Taxis During Festival Travel
Using public vehicles during the festive season in Nepal has become a huge problem. From waiting hours to getting tickets to crowded buses. Nepalese people are always fighting to get home easily and simply. Here are the major reasons why not to choose public transport during festival season:
Overcrowd
The public buses are usually overcrowded during festival time. There is no space for your bags because people are standing everywhere. It becomes so uncomfortable and stressful to those who are travelling with lots of bags, family, children or an elderly person.
Difficult to get tickets
During the occasion of Dashain and Tihar, it's difficult to get your travel tickets. Even if you get tickets, it will cost you double than on normal days. Passengers are waiting in the lines to get the tickets before 2. 3 weeks ago.
Overcharging
Another major problem is overpricing. Bus operators and taxi drivers seek the opportunity to double the price. Many passengers are forced to pay more even on short routes because they don’t have any other option.
Lack of comfort and security.
Public transport lacks comfort and security because it is overcrowded, has enough seats, and the poor condition of vehicles. Due to overcrowding, passengers may lose their bags and languages and experience breakages.
No flexibility
There is zero percent of flexibility in public vehicles. It has a fixed schedule so you have to leave your house hours before departure and sometimes wait for long hours to get it.
So what's the solution?
Hiring a vehicle would be the right choice of transportation during this festive season. Instead of waiting hours for crowded buses or paying double to use unreliable taxis, being in your rented car means that you have the freedom to enjoy your festive journey as you wish.
Reasons to Choose Vehicle Rental
