Journey was fine. A/C didn't work, so it was a bit warm. I couldn't get my window to open either but managed to open the one in front. Water provided which is good.

The bus was old and dirty, and there was not enough space between the seat rows. Also it's important to know, that the bus stops in front of pokhara bus park, and not inside like the other buses. It departed 30 minutes late, and the driver was not reachable.
Very comfortable journey on some very challenging roads. The duration was longer than quoted but understandable given the conditions and volume of traffic. Besides flying this is the best way to travel between Kathmandu and Pokhara.
Bus, departure time and arrival location all not as described when I booked the ticket. Not a problem if it was communicated clearly, the bus ride itself was fine, but I don't want to wait 1,5 hour at 6:30 in the morning for no reason and be dropped of at another location. Busses are not allowed to stop at Sorakhutte anymore so they need to change that online.

Great experience. A representative from the bus company contacted me on the day itself with instructions on how to get ready to board the bus.
Room for improvement: if possible to inform the passengers about the name of the bus company and bus number ahead of time, so that it can be communicated to the chief supervisor at the Bus Park for alignment 😉
Seats are slightly small due to the 2x2 configuration. However, it is comfy, and there is water and a small packet of peanuts provided. Did not try to use the washroom.
The design of the seats does not make sense at all - there is zero support for the neck/ waist, and the space is too narrow for legs to fit in - once anyone tried to incline their chair, your legs would suffer. Comparing to the Rainbow one that we took to Pokhara, this long journey was a suffering on.
