Due to the World Cup in Doha this month and subsequent Christmas break, tickets to/from Nepal are very expensive this year. The cheaper fares are available if you travel after the third week of January, 2023. Please call Zen Travels at 202-552-1508 / 01-597-0995 (in Kathmandu) or buy your ticket online at zentravels.com. Fares should also be cheaper when the Chinese carriers start flying to Nepal and the US. Right now, there are a limited number of airlines flying to Nepal. With more competition, prices come down.
