Domestic flights are a highly convenient, quick way of getting around Nepal and offer views you can't get travelling any other way. From Kathmandu to Pokhara, for example, takes only 25 minutes. Most domestic flights operate between all weather airports although if you're off trekking or climbing in the remoter parts of Nepal, you may have to fly by STOL aircraft on some short, seasonal airstrips. For details on which routes are scheduled, which are seasonal and which are chartered, see Air Routes below. For details on scheduled flights between all weather airports, see Flight Schedules below.

Although they are the most expensive airlines, we believe that Mountain Air and Buddha Air are the two best options, with very modern aircraft and excellent safety / reliability records. A single adult fare for flying Mountain Air from Kathmandu to Pokhara costs around 65-70 US dollars. If price is the only consideration, you can shave a few bucks off the cost by using another airline - if you really want to.
