One of the more interesting ways of getting around in Nepal

Rickshaws are a very popular mode of transport. They operate in the same way that auto and bicycle rickshaws operate in the same way as taxis – i.e. there are a number of waiting points for rickshaws and you can also flag them down. The tempos however act in the same way as shared taxis, which means that the driver will wait until they are full before commencing the journey.

Rickshaw drivers in Nepal are extremely poor and that most of them live below the poverty line. Therefore it is likely that most of us can afford to pay a little extra for our journeys.

Und ich hatte Glück, dass es noch so früh am Morgen war und die Straßen von Kathmandu/Nepal erst erwachten. Ich habe es nie wieder erlebt, einen Rickshawfahrer allein anzutreffen, ohne dass gleich weitere zehn neben ihm auf Fahrgäste warteten.
