bordered by deep jungles to the south, Nepal rises from
100 feet above sea level to 29,028' on Mount Everest in

of mountains in the world. And within its boundary lie
a diverse mix of race, creed and culture – people
friendly, attractive & hard working. It is a magical
land where deities mingle and vie with mortals in jubilant
festivals celebrating life’s unending mysteries.

Airfares on Ktm-Delhi route up
CLUB OF HIMALAYA TREKKING June 14 - The long-running severe air seats crunch seen on Kathmandu-Delhi sector has finally pushed up airfares on the sector in the range from 20 percent to 58 percent.
Major Indian carrier Indian Airlines has raised its fares by a whopping 58 percent on Kathmandu-New Delhi sector to Rs 10,800 for a one-way ticket from Rs 6,825 in the normal economy class. The airline has also increased ticket prices on Kathmandu-Varanasi and Kathmandu-Calcutta sectors by 46 percent. The new fare for flying on both routes currently stands at Rs 7,920, while it was Rs 5,425 earlier.
The air ticket of Jet Airways has now become costlier by around 44 percent on the sector. It has recently scrapped dual system of airfares -- at local currency and dollar, and adopted a single currency rate of US$ 152 (around Rs 9,800) a ticket in the normal economy class. Earlier, it used to cost Rs 6,825 at local currency fares, applicable to Nepali and Indian nationals.
Air Sahara also followed suit and revised the fares upward to Rs 8,220 on normal economy class from Rs 6,825. The fare of Druk Air, the national flag carrier of Bhutan, edged up by
Rs 1,200 per ticket to
Rs 5,700.
All airlines have their own story to defend the hike. Gautam Saha, country manager of Indian Airlines in Nepal, said the fare was revised due to the decision of the airlines to abandon dual pricing system.
“We had two different fares in the past, one at local currency for Nepalis as well as Indian nationals, and another at US dollar. But, we recently scrapped the dollar fares, and converted the dollar rate into Nepali currency that slightly pushed up airfares,” he said.
Pabitra Karki, managing director of Daphne Tours, GSA of Druk Air said the airline decided to push up prices slightly, as its fare was too low as compared to other airlines operating on the same route.
Like almost other sectors, airlines on Kathmandu-New Delhi are presently packed as more tourists are flocking to Nepal with the restoration of peace in the country. Tour operators said many tourists are giving up plans to visit Nepal as there is no air seat available.
Tourist arrivals grew by 43.4 percent in the first five months this year, with 143,640 tourists coming into the country. The number of Indian tourists shot up by 26.2 percent to 41,546.
