Best things to do and see in Kathmandu

Do any airlines fly non-stop from the USA to Kathmandu?

Unfortunately, there aren’t any airlines that are offering direct flights to Kathmandu from the USA at the moment. Therefore, if you want to get there via the shortest route, you will have to contend with at least one stopover in the Middle East before landing in Nepal. Qatar Airways provides the quickest flight between the two countries. This flight is about 21 hours long and features a three hour and 10 minute stopover in Doha at Hamad International Airport (DOH). Some of the inflight amenities you can expect to enjoy while on this flight include wireless internet to allow for web browsing, power and USB outlets, comfortable seats with recliners, seatback on-demand video, and some delicious meals.

What are good stopover options on the way from the US to Kathmandu?

There are quite a number of stopover options for flights coming from the USA to Kathmandu. The stopover depends on the airline you’re flying with since most airlines tend to make a stopover in their home hub for refueling and servicing. For example, when flying with Qatar Airways, you are most likely to stop in Doha (DOH), which is their main hub. Turkish Airlines, which also services that route, tends to make a stop in Istanbul (IST) while those flying via Emirates will stop at Dubai (DXB). The length of stopovers isn’t fixed and varies from airline to airline, so be sure to confirm that when booking.
