Almost twice as many passengers have left Kathmandu Valley this year compared to last year. From the beginning of this month till today, about 1.7m residents of the valley have traveled to their homes to celebrate Dashain. In the past two years, the number of people going out of Kathmandu Valley to celebrate Dashain was less due to the covid pandemic, but this year it has increased sharply. The National Transport Business Federation of Nepal, said that 200,000 more are expected to leave the valley by the day of Vijaya Dashami.  Like the previous years, this year too, passengers are facing problems such as charging more than the specified fare in the vehicle, buying tickets for two people for the same seat, keeping the passengers in different seats than mentioned in the tickets. 

Not only from Kathmandu, but also from regional cities outside the valley and from district headquarters, many people are going to their respective homes.
