If you are driving, start from Thamel, which is a central tourist area. Head east on the Ring Road (also known as the Kathmandu Ring Road) towards Pashupatinath.

From Thamel, walk to the nearest bus stop on the Pradarshani Marg. Take a microbus or local bus heading towards Pashupatinath or Gaushala. The bus fare is typically around NPR 20-30 (about $0.20-$0.30). Inform the conductor that you are going to Gaushala Ground. After approximately 30 minutes, disembark at the Gaushala stop. From there, walk a short distance to reach Gaushala Ground.

For a more comfortable option, you can hire a taxi from anywhere in Kathmandu Valley. Ask the driver to take you to Gaushala Ground, located on the Ring Road.
