Flights to Nepal - Overview

Nepal is not the easiest place to get to, which might explain why so many school leavers head here in a bid to escape their parents! National airline Royal Air Nepal has had flights from both London and Frankfurt to Kathmandu in the past, but these are not currently operating.

There are generally much better flight connections via cities in the Arabian gulf, such as Bahrain and Dubai, than there are through cities in neighbouring India, although some travellers choose to visit India and Nepal as part of the same trip.

The altitudes in Nepal might be enticing, but unfortunately the country's political situation is far from being blissful. We would strongly recommend checking Foreign Office advice before travelling there.

Domestic flights

The terrain in Nepal is extremely mountainous, yet the country lacks the financial resources to develop a significant transport infrastructure. Many parts of the country can be reached at more easily by taking internal flights from Kathmandu.

Outside the capital, the airports in Nepal tend to be limited in their facilities, with the scarcity of flat land ensuring that many have runways which are too short to support large jet aircraft. This makes taking flights within Nepal an extremely exhilarating experience (but still much safer than taking the winding mountain roads). Lukla is particularly well known for its steep approach.

Because most flights within Nepal are operated with smaller turboprop aircraft, frequencies tend to be much higher than they would be if larger jets were used. Biratnagar, Lukla and Pokhara in particular all have at least five onward daily connections from Kathmandu.

We hope that you have found this information about flights to Nepal useful.
