Book a Flight to Nepal
This legendary Himalayan country lies in the shadow of the mighty Mount Everest. It is a place of mystery and wonder. Trek through the mountains, visit Buddhist temples, arrive in remote villages and get caught up in the whirlwind of Kathmandu.
When to Book Cheap Flights to Nepal
Peak season is in October and November when the mild dry weather means mountain trails are crowded with climbers. This short window means prices will rise accordingly.
The winter snows close many passes, but things pick up again in March as spring arrives. From June to September the monsoon rains wash away the tourists, and sometimes the roads.
How to Find the Best Flight Deals to Nepal

Main Airports in Nepal
Nepal only has one international airport, Tribhuvan International Airport, east of Kathmandu, and it has limited facilities. It is best to arrange hotel transfers in advance – if not you may have to haggle over a taxi or brave the overcrowded and chaotic bus service.
A new international airport is due to open in Pokhara in 2020.
Which Airlines Fly to Nepal?
Airlines that fly to Nepal from the UK include:
How to Get Around in Nepal
Yeti Airlines is the biggest domestic operator and flies to most parts of the country from Kathmandu. There are other carriers, but schedules can be erratic.
Buses serve most places, but journeys can be uncomfortable. Tourist buses operate between major destinations. Self-drive car hire is not an option, but it is possible to hire vehicles and drivers even for overnight trips. During the monsoon some roads become impassable.
In Kathmandu and other cities there are taxis and rickshaws.
What are the Must-Sees in Nepal?
The Himalayas are the star attraction, and no trip to Nepal is complete without a visit to Mount Everest. The high-altitude Everest Base Camp Trek passes villages and monasteries and takes in the wildlife of Sagarmatha National Park.
The lakeside village of Pokhara commands jaw-dropping views of the mountains. There are treks and other pursuits including kayaking and mountain biking in the Annapurna Conservation Area.
Nepal’s madcap capital Kathmandu is worth exploring. Head to the Garden of Dreams for some respite from the hustle and bustle.
Tips for Travelling in Nepal
If you are hiring a vehicle, it pays to get a 4x4 as the terrain can be challenging.
Visas are available on entry but you will need passport photos and may have to pay in US dollars.
