Out of the several ride-sharing/hailing taxi apps in Nepal, it seems Sarathi Cab has got real potential. From the very beginning, we were very hopeful of this taxi/cab service to bring hassle-free ride. Yes, it can be the next Uber or Ola for Nepalese market. And you won’t feel cheated from the cab ride nor the taxi drivers will suffer. Operated in offline mode from August last year, Sarathi cab has released their app and is in the final touch to launch in Kathmandu. Sarathi app is also known to be used for the bike sharing. Find the download link below if you still want to try the unreleased version.

Previously Sarathi had announced their app launch to be made in the first or second week of March during the CAN info-tech 2018. Although it took a long time just for the testing of the app and the smooth experience, this app is now launched officially in the app stores and mobiles. We have already used the app for the booking of a taxi.

Now they have a little number of taxis of their own. But as any taxi drivers can join this Sarathi cab app, the availability of this service will be high. Right now, the app will be available for Kathmandu city and inside ring road areas. If it goes well, they will launch in other cities like Pokhara, Bharatpur, Butwal and more.
