Flight Guide

It is not required you buy your international flight tickets through Discover Nepal but we recommend you do. All our flights are booked through a registered agency. We will ensure you are offered the best deal and a convenient connection to your travel destination. Should you choose to make your own flight arrangements, just give us your arrival flight details and we will meet you at the arrival airport. If you are arriving at your destination via overland travel, just let us know and we will have your room waiting for you. However, it is required you arrive at your destination country on the first day of your tour specified in the itinerary.

Flights get booked early during the peak months of March/April and October/November, so the earlier you can make a confirmed booking, the less likelihood of disappointment. Airfares do vary according to availability and the time of year. Discover Nepal will be more than happy to make flight arrangements for you. Tickets will be booked at the best possible price available on confirmation of your booking. The price for the airfare will be given to you before any prior commitment on your part. If you decide to go ahead, full payment will be required to secure the flight ticket. Once confirmed, tickets may be cancelled based on the cancellation policy.
