Travel Guide to Terabishay

Getting There

• Private Car

  If you're driving from Biratnagar, head southwest on the Koshi Highway (also known as the East-West Highway) towards Itahari. Continue on this road until you reach the intersection at Itahari, and take the left turn towards the Mahendra Highway (also East-West Highway). Follow the Mahendra Highway until you reach the junction for Mahalaxmi. From there, take the Thakuri Gaun Road, which leads directly to Terabishay. The entire journey is approximately 4 to 5 hours depending on traffic. Ensure you have a GPS or a reliable map as the roads can be tricky in some areas.

• Public Bus

  Start your journey from any major bus station in Terai, such as the one in Biratnagar or Itahari. Look for buses heading towards Mahalaxmi or directly towards Terabishay. The fare usually ranges from NPR 200 to NPR 400 depending on the distance. Once you arrive at the Mahalaxmi bus stop, you can hire a local taxi or a rickshaw to take you the remaining distance to Terabishay, which is about 10 km. The taxi fare should be around NPR 300 to NPR 500. Make sure to confirm the price before starting your ride.

• Rickshaw

  If you are already in Mahalaxmi, you can simply hire a rickshaw to Terabishay. The rickshaw drivers are familiar with the area and can take you directly to the location. The fare for this short trip should be around NPR 100 to NPR 200. Always negotiate the fare before starting your journey to avoid any misunderstandings.
