Airfares and Payment Solutions

Domestic airfares in Nepal are typically quoted in USD for international travelers. Rates vary based on the sector, seasonal demand, and seat availability.

  • Fare Classes: We offer a range of options from Super-Flexi (Y) to budget-friendly Promotional fares. Premium classes include added benefits such as priority boarding and higher baggage limits.

  • Flexible Booking: To secure the best rates, especially during peak trekking seasons (Spring/Autumn), we recommend booking at least 30 days in advance.

  • Secure Payments: Ghale Treks facilitates seamless transactions via Bank Transfer, Credit Cards, and Digital Wallets.

  • Exclusive Benefits: As a preferred consolidator, we offer exclusive bulk-fare discounts and waiving of certain advance-purchase requirements that are unavailable when booking directly with airlines.

Baggage Allowances and Policies

Baggage regulations are strictly enforced in Nepal to ensure aircraft safety, particularly on mountain airstrips.

  • Standard Routes (Pokhara/Chitwan): Usually allow 20kg to 25kg of checked luggage and 5kg of hand carry.

  • Mountain Sectors (Lukla/Jomsom): Strictly limited to 15kg total (10kg checked + 5kg carry-on).

  • Excess Baggage: Additional weight is subject to a fee (approx. $1.50 – $2.00 per kg) and is subject to space availability on the aircraft.

  • Trekkers’ Tip: We recommend packing essentials in your carry-on. For bulky trekking gear, Ghale Treks can arrange dedicated porterage or cargo services upon request.

Cancellation, Refunds, Taxes and Additional Fees

  • All-Inclusive Tariff Structure

    Published flight tariffs are fully comprehensive of value-added tax (VAT), real-time aviation fuel surcharges, and municipal airport facility fees. When booking through Ghale Treks & Expedition, every mandatory tax, standard base fare, and government-levied service fee is completely accounted for in your initial quote—guaranteeing absolute transparency with zero hidden financial surprises at the airport runway.

  • Amendment & Revocation Protocols

    Ticket cancellations, route modifications, and refund routing are executed in strict accordance with commercial carrier regulations and Ghale Treks & Expedition discrete concierge travel protocols.

  • Tariff Guarantee Verification

    Due to market fluctuations and the highly volatile nature of remote mountain aviation assets, all fares, scheduling, and carrier fuel adjustments must be explicitly re-verified by our bespoke travel planners prior to final ticket issuance.

Airport Transfers & Logistics

Navigating Nepal’s traffic requires strategic planning. We provide several transit options to ensure you arrive on time:

  • Private Hotel Transfers: The most reliable option. We provide air-conditioned vehicles and professional drivers.

  • Pre-booked Taxis: Recommended for independent travelers; travel times from Thamel to the airport average 30–45 minutes.

  • Buffer Time: We advise departing for the airport at least 2 hours before departure during peak hours due to Kathmandu’s unpredictable traffic.

Check-In and Departure Protocol

  • Reporting Time: Please arrive at the Domestic Terminal 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure.

  • Documentation: Foreign nationals must present an original Passport to enter the terminal and check in.

  • The Boarding Process: After security screening, proceed to the boarding gate. Boarding typically commences 30 minutes before take-off.

  • Remote Arrivals: At smaller airstrips (like Lukla), baggage collection is often handled manually near the aircraft.

  • Manthali (Ramechhap) Operations: During peak trekking seasons (March–May and October–November), Lukla flights may be redirected to depart from Manthali Airport to manage Kathmandu air traffic.
  • Weather Flexibility: Mountain flights are subject to Visual Flight Rules (VFR). We recommend booking a “buffer day” before your international departure to account for weather-related delays.
