Hello Nepal,
I cannot explain how excited I am, I have been planning my trip, and I will be visiting the following cities as I ordered, now in December:
**Nagarkot –> Kathmandu –> Lumbini –> Pokhara –> Chitwan National Park –> Kathmandu**
I have been reading travel blogs to discover that moving between cities is the biggest challenge. To sort this out, I was planning to take a plane, but for a flight of 25 min, they charged us over USD 70, which was too out of my budget.
Having said that, *I have a few questions:*
1.- Which webpage do you use to find flights at a normal price?
2.- If I have to choose one or two flights, which ones should you recommend and why should I avoid that road?
3.- To live the experience on Chitwan National Park, is [https://www.welcomenepaltreks.com/](https://www.welcomenepaltreks.com/) a good option?
Feel free to give me advice about restaurants/activities/hotels on those cities.
So as far as I can tell, every connecting flights in between cities will cost about USD 50 but if youre willing to catch a bus or two between some cities, that is also possible and you will save a few thousand Nepali Rupees which can be useful to get accommodation and food in said destination.
Domestic Flight tickets can be booked in advance or also from the airport counters pretty easily and you can pay with you card for a small international transaction fee (way better than going through an agent)
Nagarkot is also a small town/village near Kathmandu (where you first land) so you can always catch a cab to go there.
I would suggest you spend more time in Places like Pokhara(PKR), Lumbini and Chitwan as Kathmandu (KTM) is the capital and it gets very crowded at times and apart from Old Temples and Heritage Sites, theres not a lot of sight seeing you can do in the valley in short time so its better to spend only a night or two in KTM.
Packages rates in Chitwan vary a lot and depending on where you book your activity from, you might get charged double more than what it actually costs so i suggest you get that sorted once you arrive to KTM or PKR.
With that being said, if you want affordable accommodation in Pokhara for USD 15 or less per night then do get in touch.
Pro TIP : Always haggle on the price. On Everything.
always remember, the road trip in Nepal is very hectic and troublesome. I would suggest you to take the flight it will save both time and energy.
Hey, so firstly you will have to land in Kathmandu I presume, then you can take a cab/local bus to nagarkot.
I would suggest you to take a plane from KTM to Lumbini (Bhairahawa Airport) because it is farthest from Kathmandu, and the road there is being reconstructed and overall sucks.
After which, you can come either to Pokhara or Chitwan. If you come to pokhara, you will have the option of flight from Bhairahawa, which I will again suggest you to take, because the roads are not just bad, they are also risky due to landslides.
If you choose the buses, please be prepared for bumpy rides, uncomfortable seats and sometimes roadblocks due to landslides. However, if you are in a group, buses will be the best because it is more fun and economical.
If you want to be economical and are fine with basic hotels, download oyo app.
