DonAntonio · May 27th, 2009, 22:24

Hi,
Do you know what's the best way to ravel from Varanasi to Kathmandu?
I haven't found any flights ( I checjed kayak and air india), but maybe you know some better way? I will be travelling there in first days of August.

Hi Don,

There are flights but they are not every day so try searching a day either side. I'm certain Jet and AI fly this route.

The alternative is a long bus journey to Raxual (which isn't a great town) and then hopping on to another or the same bus for another long journey to KTM.

On the bus it is a long tiring day - If you can afford it, I would always recommend the flight.

Hi puppydogben, thanks for your answer. I checked Jet Air website, and they only fly on Kathmandu - Delhi route. Air India seems to be flying only Kathmandu - London route.
I would really like to avoid the bus journey, so maybe you could guide me how to find the flight?

Air India definitely flies from Kathmandu - Varanasi, there are either 4 or 5 flights a week.

I'm not sure about links for external websites so I will message you the site I use.
