Around Janakpur

Getting Around

Janakpur is manageable on foot and the lack of car makes it an absolute pleasure to walk Cycle rickshaws are plentiful and cheap, good for visiting the semi-rural suburbs of Janakpur, with their village feel and many water tanks.

Getting There

By "express" bus, Janakpur is 10 hours from Kathmandu,  seven hours from Kakarbhitta , four hour from Raksul (Birjung) and five hour from Patna (Bihar, India). An easier way is to fly directly from Kathmandu which just takes around thirty to forty minutes. Flights from Kathmandu are almost daily by various airlines  the airport is two kilometer south of town.

Accommodation and food

There isn't much in the way of tourist hotels. But you will get some, even you can get good Dharma sala (like guest house), Hotel, start from Rs.45 to Rs.500 for an air-conditioned suite. Food is deliciously Indian influenced, with lot of sweets and vegetarian specialties for devout Hindus, though the lack of menus may reduce you to sign language or a point and eat system. Look around the bazaar or across from the Janaki Mandir for tea stalls, sweet shops and restaurants.
