Insider Tips for Flying in Nepal
- In Nepal, the mountain weather is unpredictable and flight delays or cancelations occur frequently. Normally, passengers will not be informed until a few minutes before departure.
- Make your itinerary as flexible as possible. Flight delays or cancelations often happen due to the poor visibility.
- Don’t be surprised if you are not taken to your intended destination because of fog.
- It is not advised to make a domestic flight that connects to an international flight in one day.
