Flight from the USA and Canada

Nepal is basically on the other side of the planet from the US and Canada. If you live on the east coast, it is somewhat shorter to go via Europe, and from the west coast, it is shorter via the Far East; either way it is a long haul involving one or more intermediate stops. Several Airlines fly to Kathmandu from the US and Canada, but only Thai operates a daily service (out of LA). When seat availability is tight ask about alternative routings; plenty of other carriers fly to Delhi, Bangkok, Hong Kong and other Asian cities, from where you can catch a connecting flight to Kathmandu.


Seasonal considerations may help determine your route. These seasons don’t necessarily coincide with Nepal’s autumn and spring tourist seasons. Most Airlines flying east (over the Atlantic) consider high season to be summer and the period right around Christmas; low season is winter (excluding Christmas), while spring and autumn may be considered low or shoulder season, depending on route. Flying west (over the Pacific), high season is generally June to July and December to January with everything else being low season.
