i think you're safe. i don't think you require a HK transit visa if you fly dragon air from ktm-hk or vice versa. they had advertised in the nepali papers regarding this. on the way back from ktm, you must have H1B visa stamped on your pp. without that, they'll definitely not let you board at TIA. make sure you carry all your H1B approval letters at all times. posted below is a portion of the news release from dragon air website. i think it applies both ways. maybe you can call cathay office in usa?
"Welcoming the passengers on the first flight, Mr Rick Symington, Manager – Bangladesh & Nepal said that the new flights will also enable travellers from Nepal to connect to the extensive networks of Dragonair and Cathay Pacific, with visa-free transit to destinations in North Asia, Australia and North America on flights of the two airlines. "Indeed we have already seen an encouraging market response to our services," he added."
