Hi there, am trying to find a flight from KTM to delhi for early december - I know this is a little early, but even when I try flights in june I get no where (I have tried using ebookers, kayak, etc). Have looked with air sahara & indian but seem to hit a dead end each time!!?? Would do the overland thing, but am already going with intrepid from delhi to ktm, and will be able to maximise trekking time if I just fly back to delhi (my flight home is out of delhi). Any ideas??...I am stuck! What should I expect to pay?

Hey mouse,
I just got back from KTM about 1.5 months ago and did the same thing as you (flew in and out of Dehli). It was a pain to book that flight from here since a lot of travel agents only deal with air Sahara. Anyways, for my flight home from Dehli to KTM i just bought it in KTM, super easy. I think Air Nepal is about 90USD and about 120USD for a little nicer of an airlines. You shouldnt have any problem booking out of KTM it will probably actually save you a lot of headache.
good luck and enjoy! but dont get stuck in Pokhara like most people do.

Hi there,
I'm flying out of KTM to Dehli end of June and got my flight through airtrek.com
They put me on Jet Air. I got through a larger round the world package but they also do fairly good deals on one-way tickets so might be worth checking it out.
Best of luck!

I got a quote from a travel agent here in Australia, on Sahara for AU$190.
This was for the end of September, 4 pm flight, but have read that they are regularly 2 hours late in leaving, but that is fine to catch a 11pm flight out of Delhi.
I am also doing the Intrepid thing overland to Kathmandu.

Thanks everyone - think I will aim to book once in KTM - I am there nearly 3 weeks before I need to fly out, so will that give me enough time to arrange a cheap-ish flight? Any recommendations for who to book with ie agent or direct with airline?
Cheers,
Erin

I just did the trip on Jet, and got a ticket with 1-day notice. Travel agents will want to see your India visa before issuing the ticket, although you can transit to in international flight without a visa if you never leave the airport. I didn't think this was possible, but a fellow traveller did so twice.
Sahara is being bought by Jet, so the choices may be more limited by December.

You can buy the ticket through http://www.flightnetwork.com/ , they list several airlines for Kathmandu-Delhi route.
I called Jet Airways directly and bought the tickets through the phone. The toll free number for the US is 1-877-835-9538 and for the UK 0800-026-5626. (the UK number will change from June 15 to 0808-101-1199 –this is info from their website www.jetairways.com ).
I reserved yesterday tickets for August 12 and I was told that they had last two seats, so it seems quite reasonable to do it in advance. The price was $164 + $25 Fedex fees for one way KTM-DEL ticket.
