Distance from Dhaka to Kathmandu is 1,100 kilometers. This distance will take 30 hours to cross. However, the bus journeyed on a pilot basis will consider the condition of the road and other things. After leaving Dhaka, the passengers will now reside in Rangpur. After leaving Siliguri on Tuesday at Kankravita border in Nepal, the next day will reach Kathmandu on April 26 morning.
These four countries make an agreement in 2015 on passenger transport between Bangladesh, Bhutan, India and Nepal (BBIN). Later Bhutan withdrew from the deal. After this, steps were taken to move buses between Bangladesh, India and Nepal, excluding Bhutan.
