NTB to operate shuttle bus service for tourists on Election Day

KATHMANDU: Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) is set to operate shuttle bus service for the convenience of tourists in Kathmandu on Election Day. The local level elections are taking place on Friday, May 13. The bus service will be run in view of the inconvenience to the air passengers travelling from the airport to the hotel and vice-versa as the government has prohibited the operation of vehicles on the voting day. Shuttle bus service will be operated on different routes from Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) to various hotels and vice-versa with the support of the Tourist Police and in coordination with Tourist Bus Association of Nepal and the Nepal Tourist Vehicle Association. Route number 1 is from the airport to the Nepal Airlines Corporation Head Office, Hotel Annapurna, Hotel Yak & Yeti, Thamel Square, Lainchaur Square, Shanker Hotel and back to the airport. Route number 2 is from the airport to Hotel Radisson, Hotel Shangri-La, Narayan Gopal Chowk, Maharajgunj Chowk, Hyatt Regency Kathmandu, Chabahil and back to the airport. Likewise, Route number 3 is from the airport to Tinkune Chowk, Hotel Everest, Maitighar Chowk, Hotel Himalaya, Hotel Soaltee, Grand Hotel and back to the airport. The tourists using the shuttle bus service will be charged Rs 300 per person to the bus owner concerned, NTB stated. By RSS READ ALSO:
