Some attractive solution for travellers that are not looking for the straightest
way to final destination but rather appreciate to visit more interesting places
at the lowest costs possible. If you are a bit modest you may get to
Nepal (and Dubai) from Europe
already for €288! This is based on two separated tickets.
Firstly you would book one way ticket from Europe to Dubai. (for instance with
Wizzair from Budapest already for €70 or Prague with Smart Wings for €110).
Second one is an open jaw ticket on route Dubai - Kathmandu - Europe. Such a
ticket is available already for €218 when returning back to Frankfurt...
For a higher fare but still very attractive solution would be returning back
to Brussels or Italy. As of flights from Frankfurt to Nepal and Dubai at once
you may book thsi combination already for €409. Last but not least you may also
consider to book roundtrip flights from Dubai to Kathmandu already for €207.
This is an interesting options for those that can easily reach Dubai. In
case of two separated tickets we recommend to stay at least one day in
each connecting destination. (if there would be delay of your initial flight
etc.). With few exceptions this promotional tariff of Jet Airways is valid
throughout whole year 2015.
Tourist visa is possible to get upon arrival in Kathmandu, in order to be
allowed to do trekking you would need to obtain Trekking Permit and TIMS card.
This is for instance possible to obtain at Nepal Tourism Offices in Kathmandu
which is easily reachable by walk (15 mins) from Thamel district. (Main tourist
area in Kathmandu). To book some affordable accommodation you may compare
