Slackdemic, I bought two tickets (Origninating from Nepal) for my parents from travel agents based in US. They are flying to US in first week of July and via India. Since June and July are the tourist season (that's what the travel agent say), the rate would be really high. The tickets from other than India would cost around $2000 per ticket and via India I paid $1750 for one ticket (Travel house Nepal).  I was also offered a rate of $1550 per person (Peace Land Travel) but that was too late so I ended up paying $1750. I contacted all the travel agents advertised here in Sajha. I found Travel House Nepal, Peace Land Travel and Zen Travel very helpful. Others were not of much help. They also accept credit cards. So, you may try contacting them. I also contacted some of the travel agents in Nepal. The rates they quoted were not much different than what was quoted by travel agents based in US. I think this information is helpful to you.
