Car & motorcycle
Motorcycle
Several places in Lakeside rent out motorcycle and scooters for around Rs 400 per day. Check the bikes out first to make sure they start up easily and brake smoothly.
Bus & tram
Bus
Small local buses shuttle between Lakeside, the airport, the public bus stand and Mahendra Pul but routes are erratic and there isn't much space for baggage. Fares start at Rs 9.
Local buses to Pame Bazaar (Rs 5) and other places on the north shore of Phewa Tal leave Camping Chowk every hour or so until mid-afternoon.
Local transport
Taxi
Taxis meet tourist buses at the Mustang Chowk bus stand, but you can expect a hotel tout to come along for the ride. The fare to Lakeside is Rs 80 whether you take the tout's advice or not, so insist on being taken where you want to go. Heading out from Lakeside, you'll pay Rs 100 to the public bus stand, the Baglung bus stand or the airport.
