Sources & data note
The straight-line (as-the-crow-flies) distance is computed with the haversine formula on WGS84 coordinates and is exact. The road distance and driving time are routed over OpenStreetMap's Nepal road network with OSRM, which returns the shortest drivable path. On some hill corridors that differs from the highway buses normally take, and real journey times run longer than the free-flow estimate because of traffic, road works and rest stops.
