From Asia
The most reasonable connections to Kathmandu are via
Bangkok, Hong Kong and Singapore. There are reduced
inclusive tour (IT)
fares on all these sectors. Check
the flights of Royal Nepal Airlines, Thai International,
and Singapore Airlines. Bangkok flights are heavily
booked in the high season, but it's sometimes worth
hanging around the airport looking for a stand-by seat
to Kathmandu. A one-way fare from Bangkok costs from
US$180 to US$190.
From India the fares are high, flights are fully booked
- usually by Indian tourists - and reservation
procedures are chaotic. The only concessional fares are
for students. There are flights to Kathmandu from Delhi,
Bombay, Calcutta, Patna and Varanasi. The one-hour Delhi
to Kathmandu flight on either Indian Airlines or Royal
Nepal Airlines costs around US$145.
Kathmandu has some other interesting airline
connections; China Southwest Airlines, part of the Civil
Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) group, operates
a flight from Lhasa to Kathmandu on Tuesdays and
Saturdays. This spectacular one-hour flight costs US$190
and is supposed to operate from April to December. You
can also fly from Paro in Bhutan on Druk Air, or from
Dhaka (Bangladesh).
From Europe & the Middle East
Royal Nepal Airlines Corporation (RNAC) operates two
flights per week from London and one from Paris via
Dubai. Contact its agency in London for cheap excursion
fares. All of RNAC's European flights operate via
Frankfurt.
Lufthansa also operates direct Frankfurt-Kathmandu
flights with three flights weekly throughout the year. A
return ticket costs around US$825. German bucket shops
can produce special deals on these. Pakistan
International, Bangladesh Biman and Aeroflot all have a
one- airline service from Europe to Kathmandu, though
they require a connection in Karachi or Dhaka or Moscow.
From Germany, look at charter flights; LTU operates a
weekly flight from Germany to Kathmandu during winter.
From North America
North America is halfway around the world from Nepal, so
you have a choice of crossing either the Atlantic or
Pacific oceans. If you are flying via the Atlantic, you
will probably be happier connecting with a direct flight
to Kathmandu from London or Frankfurt. Avoid flights via
India as the Delhi to Katmandu fare is high and transit
facilities at Delhi airport are tedious. Pacific routes
usually require an overnight stay in Bangkok or Hong
Kong, but there are frequent flights and most airlines
have APEX fares of about US$600 one way from the west
coast to Kathmandu. Northwest, United, Korean and Thai
International all offer excursion fares from the west
coast to Kathmandu via Bangkok
From Australia
Look for routes via Singapore, Hong Kong or Bangkok.
Typical fares are around A$1600 return. Kathmandu is not
on any airline routes for "round-the-world" (RTW)
tickets, and is usually charged as an extra segment on
the Australia to London route. If you are travelling to
the UK, you might find a cheap fare on RNAC from either
Bangkok or Singapore, via Kathmandu, to London.
