About flights to Nepal

Overview

Nepal is a dream for UK travellers drawn to the Himalayas — home to Everest, world-class trekking, ancient temples and rich Buddhist and Hindu culture. From the lively streets of Kathmandu to the lakeside calm of Pokhara, comparing every fare in one place makes planning the journey simpler.

Best time to fly to Nepal

The prime seasons for clear mountain views and trekking are autumn (October–November) and spring (March–April), with stable weather and comfortable temperatures. The June–September monsoon brings rain and cloud, while winter is cold at altitude. Fares can rise around these peak trekking windows, so booking early helps. Check the price charts on this page for the cheapest dates.

Main gateway cities & airports

The main gateway is Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM), with Pokhara (PKR) serving the lakes and Annapurna region.

Baggage

Baggage & hand-luggage allowance for flights to Nepal

Your allowance to Nepal depends on the airline and the fare you book. The table below shows typical long-haul allowances so you know roughly what to expect — always confirm the exact limits with your airline before you fly.

Typical hand and checked baggage allowance by fare type for flights to Nepal.
Fare type	Hand baggage	Checked baggage
Basic / Light economy	1 small under-seat bag	Usually none — add for a fee
Standard economy	1 cabin bag + 1 personal item	Typically 1 × 23 kg
Premium economy	1–2 cabin bags + personal item	Typically 2 × 23 kg
Business / First	2 cabin bags + personal item	Typically 2 × 32 kg

Indicative only. Allowances vary by airline, route and fare — always check your airline's baggage policy.

Packing & baggage tips

Full-service carriers (e.g. British Airways, Turkish Airlines, KLM) usually include a checked bag on long-haul economy fares; basic/low-cost fares often don't.
Cabin (hand) bag size is commonly around 56 × 45 × 25 cm — confirm your airline's limit before you pack.
Liquids in hand luggage must be in containers of 100 ml or less, inside one clear resealable bag.
Weigh your bags at home — airport excess-baggage fees are far higher than pre-booked allowances.
Extra or heavier bags are almost always cheaper added online in advance than at the airport.
