What Are the Airports in Nepal?

• Cancun AirportCancun International Airport, the most famous in Nepal, ranks highest in daily passenger numbers. With excellent international connectivity, the airport is a vital center for tourism and various types of companies in the country.
• Tribhuvan International AirportTribuvan Airport is located in Kathmandu and is one of the international airports in Nepal. Once landing at this airport, especially in the morning, afternoon and evening, you will immediately be greeted by views of the Himalayan mountains. Unfortunately, once you enter the airport area, you will also be greeted by the famous baggage claim queue that takes hours, poorly maintained facilities such as broken luggage trolleys and complicated airport security systems. The good thing is, if you are observant, you can find Sajha Yatyat, a bus service that is ready to take you to the city center for 20 rupees or the equivalent of IDR 8500.
• Lukla AirportDespite being the most beautiful airport in the world, Lukla Airport has also been called the most dangerous airport in the world. However, it is also the flagship airport in Nepal as it serves passenger flights to Nepal's capital city Kathmandu. The airport is only about 30 minutes away from Tribhuvan airport (KTM), located in a mountainous area at 1388 meters above sea level.The airport is beautiful because it provides a breathtaking view of the Himalayas with its green expanse. However, the moment can turn tense if the plane is about to land. This is because Lukla airport has a short runway and is located near residential areas.Not only that, but the airport is also located on a plateau surrounded by cliffs and valleys. So, when an airplane wants to land or take off from Lukla, it has to face strong winds. The air is also thinner at high altitudes, making it harder for aircraft engines to generate thrust.It's also difficult for airplanes trying to land here to slow down due to the geography and short runways, so pilots have to rack their brains to survive.
• Gautam Budha International AirportThe Gautam Budha International Airport (GBIA) is the second new international airport in Nepal and became operational in mid-2020. The airport is also known as Lumbini International Airport which is expected to be an alternative to the main Kathmandu airport in the face of a huge increase in traffic as recent years have seen an increase in the number of international tourists. The GBIA is located in Siddharthanagar municipality in Rupandehi District, about 280 kilometers from Kathmandu, and about 24 kilometers from Lumbini, which is the birthplace of Prince Siddhartha, the future Buddha.
• Pokhara International and Domestic AirportPokhara, is the third international airport inaugurated in January. The airport was designed and built according to Chinese standards and the International Civil Aviation Organization. The airport was built near a settlement surrounded by mountains and is very foggy. The wind in the mountains and the difficulty of the landing terrain are a big challenge for pilots.However, as Pokhara is also a tourist destination, the airport is certainly a new gateway for an increase in tourists coming from around the world. Apart from being an international airport, Pokhara also serves regular flights to Kathmandu, Jomsom, and seasonal connections to Manang.

What to Prepare for a Vacation to Nepal?

If you're planning a vacation to Nepal, whether it's for trekking to Everest or visiting its tourist cities, prepare the following:

• Tickets and visasTickets for flights to Nepal range from 5 million to 20 million. But if it's on sale, you might be able to get cheap tickets for 4 millions. As for the visa, you need to prepare it. But don't worry, the visa will definitely pass because it can be a visa on arrival for Indonesian citizens. If you have arrived at the airport, there are several machines to enter your personal data, take a piece of paper that already contains your data, then go to the counter to redeem the visa fee for USD 25 per 15 days. Or you can also apply for a visa online.
• Currency in NepalBefore you leave for Nepal, try to exchange money first in USD while in Indonesia. This is because the Nepalese rupee is difficult to find in Indonesia. You can exchange this USD currency at a Nepalese money changer after arriving in the country. Money changers can be found everywhere in Nepal, usually in hotels or lodging places as well.Bring enough cash because in Nepal it is difficult to find EDC machines to swipe credit cards or debit cards. Most souvenir shops, restaurants, grocery stores and means of transportation in Nepal only accept cash.
• Food and toilet paper in NepalFood in Nepal is strong in spices and some are even spicy with red spices. There are 3 foods that you must try while in Nepal namely Dhal Bat (this is rice with chicken / buffalo dagaing, vegetables, and soup called Dhal), Momo (dimsum filled with chicken / buffalo and vegetables, served with spicy red spices. You can choose steam or fried), Lassi (plain yogurt, sweet, or mixed with fruits at a reasonable price and consumed when cold).But since food in Nepal is strongly spiced and spicy, you have to be careful if you want to use the toilet in Nepal. Although there are many public toilets, there are no tissues, so you have to bring your own. Keep plenty of tissues in your bag.
• Clothing in NepalBefore going to Nepal, make sure where you want to go first. If you want to visit a temple, bring clothes that are modest and covered. Keep a pashmina and a long scarf in your bag. For men, don't forget to wear long pants. One more thing, the weather in Nepal is unpredictable and changeable. So, don't be surprised if it gets really cold in Nepal. Bring a thick jacket just in case because the temperature can reach 8-9 degrees at night, and 15-17 degrees during the day.
• Transportation in NepalTake a taxi, as public transportation in Nepal is not very convenient and often makes it difficult for tourists. Although there are motorbike rentals, buses and even tuktuks (a type of bemo), taxis are more convenient. The fare is also not too expensive, around 150-300 rupees (Rp30,000-Rp40,000) from the airport to the city center.
• Internet speedYou shouldn't expect the internet speed in Nepal to be very slow. So prepare by bringing a Travel WiFi with a good connection.

Time Difference Nepal, Nepal and Jakarta, Indonesia

The time difference between Kathmandu, Nepal and Jakarta, Indonesia is 1 hour and 15 minutes, with Jakarta ahead of Nepal. So the difference is not too significant even if you take a flight that takes up to a dozen hours.

Fun Activities in Nepal

Apart from climbing to the top of Everest, there are still many exciting activities that can be done while in Nepal.

To get here, you must rent a taxi or local tour car. You'll be picked up from your hotel and taken home. There's more to it, such as tasting traditional Nepali food like Dal Bhat (rice, vegetables, curry, peanut soup and papad) or Momo, a savory lamb-stuffed dumpling, paragliding over Pokhara Lake, playing with monkeys at Swayambhunath, meeting Bengal hariman in Chitwan National Park, and skydiving in front of Mount Everest for those who like extreme sports
