Regarding local bus, only few buses are running on this portion of the road to Ghandruk to Pokhara. Normally, the public buses are terribly crowded and inconvenient to travel because the trekkers are not used to this kind of local bus trip before. So, if you really want to experience the local bus ride regardless of inconveniences, we have nothing to say. Frankly speaking, you are not recommended to use public bus to go Ghandruk or escape Ghandruk for Pokhara.
