Frequently Asked Questions

Which airlines fly direct to Kathmandu?▼
Kathmandu has non-stop service from the Gulf (flydubai, Qatar Airways, Jazeera, Kuwait Airways, Air Arabia Abu Dhabi), Asia (Thai Airways, Malaysia Airlines, Batik Air, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Korean Air), India (Air India, IndiGo) and Turkey (Turkish Airlines), plus Nepal's own carriers Nepal Airlines and Himalaya Airlines.
Are there direct flights from the UK, USA or Australia to Nepal?▼
No. There is no non-stop service between Nepal and the UK, the USA, Australia or mainland Europe. Every itinerary from those countries involves at least one stop, most often in the Gulf (Doha, Dubai), Istanbul, or a Southeast Asian hub such as Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur.
When is the cheapest time to fly to Nepal?▼
Fares are typically lowest in the monsoon months (roughly June to August) and highest around Dashain and Tihar, and again in the December holiday period. Booking several weeks to a few months ahead usually costs less than booking last-minute, and mid-week departures are often cheaper than weekends.
Should I book a through-ticket or two separate tickets?▼
A single through-ticket protects you if a connection is missed — the airline must rebook you. Two separate tickets can be cheaper but you carry the risk yourself, and you may have to collect and re-check your baggage at the connecting airport. If you book separate tickets, leave a long gap between them.
