Hi all, I am planning to go to Nepal during Dashain . What is the best Nepali travel agency to buy ticket from? I would appreciate if you Shajha users share your past experiences with these agency. I know, I can buy ticket online, but this is not the case right now. Thank you.

I don't have any suggestion on where you should buy from...but I can tell you where you should NOT buy from. Don't buy from ticket2nepal.com (Landlocked travel). They are pain in the a**. When and where are you flying from?

@futykarma , why do you say so ? I bought tickets from them before and I was actually planning to buy one shortly. I need to be aware of anything bad

I have been buying almost all the tickets for myself and family from them until few months back. They are being an a** now a days. They over-charge your credit cards. I had to cancel one ticket for one of my friends (bought that ticket using my credit card) because of a medical emergency and they told me they will refund if I can submit a hospital report saying my friend was actually sick. I did send all the necessary documents and called them up. They told me they had talked to Turkish Airlines and I should be receiving my refund within couple of weeks. Couple of weeks pass and I call them, they don't pick up phone, I leave voice message - no call back. I emailed them like 20 times with not a single reply. They used to be nice but not anymore. I will never buy ticket from them again. I deserve to get my $1400 minus cancellation fee which I never received. I am planning to file a case against them.

Guys I am planning the same, is there any website I can login to buy online instead of these travel agencies? Your answers will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You can directly go to airline's website & get a quote for your travel. They also give ticket different rates (higher or lower rates) depending on your travel date flexibility like +\- 2/3 days. Good luck!

DO NOT BUY IT FROM LANDLOCK TRAVEL TICKET2NEPAL. I HAD HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PARTICULAR AGENCY.

I agree with everyone here. DO NOT BUY TICKETS FROM LANDLOCK TRAVEL OR TICKETS2NEPAL. I HAD HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE FROM THOSE GUYS.

You can check flights by directly visiting the airline's website. Many airlines like Cathy Pacific, Qatar, Ethihad, Emirates, Jet Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Korean etc. offer flights from major US cities to Kathmandu, including connections. If you do not live in a major city or where these airlines operate from, call their 1-800 customer service reservation number and their agent will help you find connections and flights for your dates. They even will provide with multiple quotes (higher or lower rates) depending on your flexibility to travel. One major advantage of directly purchasing tickets with airline is you can request for a hotel booking (inclusive of the ticket fare) if you have a transit of 14 hours or more. The same privilege applies when you book a ticket via a travel agent, however, most travel agencies do not bother taking that extra step to reserve a hotel or do due diligence of ensuring confirmation of the hotel reservation.

bro try statravel.com,,,, i got ticket for 1010 round trip dec 2013 from houston tx

Yes, Don't buy tickets from LANDLOCK TRAVEL OR TICKETS2NEPAL. Recently, I bought tickets and charged me about $400 more than what they originally quoted. I talked with them but never get my money back. They always speak soft and sweet but they are bitter from inside. If you want to pay more, if you want to get more headache, that will be good place to go.

zen travels quoted me 1200 , qatar airways.

In my opinion, the option would be to play around date/price using www.google.com/flights Then once decided, we can choose whatever option we want to buy the ticket from, say from priceline or directly from the airlines.
