International Departure – Saturday Evening

International flights to Nepal do not fly directly into Kathmandu and will require at least one connection, typically through Asia or the Middle East (such as Hong Kong, Doha, or other major hubs).

A Saturday late evening (or early Sunday) departure will be ideal. Most routes will arrive in Asia by early Monday morning, with onward flights continuing to Kathmandu later that day or evening.

My go-to route is through Hong Kong. This timing always allows for a meaningful Day 0 experience in HK before the journey continues.

Regardless of routing, we should all arrive in Kathmandu no later than Monday night.
