I tried to buy round trip tickets to go to Nepal and the price is above $1625 with Tax ( Omaha to Kathmandu). This is via Thai/United and the route is OMA-DEN-LAX-BKK-KTM with 12 hr transit in Bangkok each way. This seems a little high. I was told that CathayPacific is cheaper but I have to get a HKG visa. Does anyone know how to apply for Hong Kong visa? Is it through mail or you have to go in person?
