Patna (Bihar) to Kathmandu

• On your train journey from Patna to Kathmandu, you will primarily be traveling with Indian Railways and the Nepalese-operated train service. Indian Railways offers catering services that include meal options like vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals, snacks, and bottled water. Pre-book your meals through the Indian Railways website or app, and consider using 'IRCTC' for additional meal options. For Nepalese meals, onboard services may be more limited, but local vendors often board at major stations.

• The train services on this route typically offer multiple seating options, including Sleeper Class, AC Chair Car, and Executive Class. Sleeper Class is more budget-friendly with bunk-style seating, while AC Chair Car provides a more comfortable and air-conditioned experience. Executive Class often has the best amenities but can be pricier. It’s recommended to book ahead, especially in higher classes, to secure your preferred seating.

• Upon arrival at the Kathmandu station (Kathamandu Railway Station), be prepared for busy crowds. There's limited facility for luggage storage, so it’s advisable to travel light. You will find restrooms available at the station; however, showers may not be as readily accessible. To navigate the area easily, follow the signage for taxis and public transportation. The fastest way to reach the city center from the station is to take a taxi, which will cost about NPR 800-1000, or you can catch a local bus heading towards Ratna Park with bus number 8.
