Regional Flight Schedule from Nepalgunj to Western Nepal
Flight Connections to Jumla, Simikot, Talcha and Dolpa
Nepalgunj is an important gateway to the remote Himalayan regions of western Nepal. Regular domestic flights connect Nepalgunj with destinations such as Jumla, Simikot, Talcha (Rara Lake region) and Dolpa, providing convenient access to some of the country's most beautiful and less-visited destinations.
These flights are particularly important for travellers planning trekking adventures, cultural tours, visits to remote Himalayan communities and journeys to Rara Lake and the Dolpo region. As road access to many of these destinations remains limited, air travel is often the most practical way to reach these areas.
Below is the regional flight schedule, including flight numbers, operating days and scheduled departure and arrival times.
