The Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) is bringing into operation the 'Hop On, Hop Off" bus service' starting Tuesday. NTB Chief Executive Officer Dr. Dhananjaya Regmi said the 'hop on, hop off' bus is coming into operation today as a mobile bus service along the routes connecting UNESCO world heritage sites in Kathmandu. '

As per the interest of Tourism Minister Sudan Kiranti, the heritage bus service is coming into operation," he said, adding, 'Such bus service is in operation in most of the tourism destinations across the world. Though the operation of bus service has long been in debate in Nepal, the NTB this time is bringing this service despite possible losses.
