Rates vary by vehicle type and direction, with entering Kathmandu costing more than leaving.
Light vehicles pay Rs 65 to enter and Rs 60 to exit. Minibuses and mini-trucks pay Rs 115 and Rs 80; buses and trucks Rs 260 and Rs 200; multi-axle trucks and heavy equipment Rs 600 and Rs 250. Setopati gave the bus and truck entry fee as Rs 250, against the Rs 260 most outlets reported.
