Flying Varanasi to Kathmandu

puppydogben · Jan 23rd, 2007, 16:20

Hi,

I am hoping to fly from Varanasi to Kathmandu next week and have been looking for airlines that fly this route. It seems that only Indian operate on this sector but I'm sure I flew with another airline last time I did this trip.
Does anyone know of any other airline making this trip and on which days?
Cosmic Air from Nepal says on its website that it does this flight but when you try to book it there is no option for flights out of Varanasi.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

Ben

I think I flew with Jet Airways a few years ago. But I may be mistaken......just go into a travel agent in Varanassi, or take a taxi to the Airline booking office....

Cosmic Air is no longer operational.
I believe Jet flies between Kathmandu and Varanasi (they did as of november 05)
And Indian Airlines flies that Route as well.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. I have booked with Indian - they are the only ones that fly that route direct. Everyone else routes back through Delhi, though Sahara (who I flew that route with in 2001) are due to re-commence the flight sometime this year.

Cheers

How much did this flight cost? Roughly?

This flight was about $115 one way, thought this was high but after talking to other people I realised I saved a lot by doing it through the website rather than a travel agent.
