What travelers say:
Zhangmu Town is a town built on a mountain. When you arrive in Zhangmu, you feel like you have arrived in another country.
Zhangmu was called "Tajue Gabu" in ancient times, and "the neighboring port" in Tibetan. It is an important branch extension of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road. It borders Nepal on the east, south and west sides, 736 kilometers from Lhasa and 120 kilometers from Kathmandu.
As a very busy trading port, the town is crowded with people and often blocked. There are hundreds of shops on both sides of the road, selling all kinds of goods, and you can see a lot of imported goods from India, Nepal and other places. Colorful Nepalese TATA trucks can often be seen on the street. In addition to Tibetans and Han people, there are many Indians and Nepalese, and tourists and businessmen of all skin colors come and go.
The first time I crossed the border by road was also a very interesting experience. After crossing the border, I realized the profound truth that to get rich, you must first build roads! Most of Nepal's roads are mountainous, and the total length of the transit road is 17,982 kilometers, of which 5,502 kilometers are asphalt roads. The driving risk factor is high, but the driver's driving skills are quite good, and he is familiar with the road with ease.
On the way to rest, we met a group of local children. Sister Cao gave each of them two Dove chocolates, and the children ate them with relish.
❗️❗️❗️Important TIPS for crossing Nepal from Zhangmu:
✅You need to stamp the exit stamp of the Public Security Bureau in Zhangmu Town. If you don't stamp it, you can't leave the country. The working hours are 3:30pm;
✅It is best to exchange Nepalese currency in Zhangmu Town before leaving the country, because the exchange rate here is more cost-effective than the local exchange rate in Nepal. Of course, you need to bargain. The exchange rate we exchanged Nepalese currency in Zhangmu was 13.75, and the highest exchange rate we saw in Nepal was 13.01)
✅From Zhangmu, go to Kathmandu, Nepal, the charter fee: 700 Nepalese currency/person.
🚘🚘🚘After leaving the country, you will step firmly on the land of Nepal!
1️⃣After passing the departure hall, there will be many drivers heading to Kathmandu to take jobs, so there is no need to worry about not having a car.
2️⃣ Remember to go to the arrival hall of Nepal to fill out the form and go through the entry formalities before getting on the car. However, in general, the driver will kindly lead you to go through the formalities, otherwise he will not be able to do business and will not be able to pass the next checkpoint.
