Flying into Kathmandu is usually a slow process. Prepare yourself for lots of aerial sightseeing in circles…


The approach to Kathmandu airport. Often delayed before you land…holding patterns are the norm. It is a busy airport, has intrinsic safety issues such as fog/smog, tarmac quality and at times some unusual take off and landing tactics by pilots.
A hub of activity at the airport
Prayer flags throughout the city-especially the Thamel. A great precinct to buy those trekking items you need.
