Dashain rush grows at New Bus Park as travelers head home, 207,000 passengers leave Kathmandu

As Bada Dashain approaches, the rush of passengers returning to their home villages from Kathmandu's New Bus Park has started to grow.

People who have been living in the capital for studies, employment and various occupations have begun heading home to celebrate Dashain. So far, 207,000 passengers have left Kathmandu to celebrate the festival.

Bada Dashain began on Sunday with Ghatasthapana. With the start of Dashain, the crowd of passengers at the New Bus Park has increased further.

During festival times, a large number of people return home from the capital, which is why the rush of passengers tends to increase at the bus park.
