what a story! i was through the same route when i went back to Nepal during the past winter. I could see the airline staffs treating hoarse to Nepalese workers in the Gulf. I felt bad and tried to help them out instead of talking to the airline staffs. Most of them were in trouble because of the language barrier. Some of them could not even read the seat number. I felt so bad fro their situation. This is the direct result of the situation in our country. Nepalese consulates and officials can simply watch or simply ignore this situation. These days, Gulf route seems to only the route available to get out of Kathmandu (except the Thai route, which is much expensive in comparison). I am thinking to not take route that again. I heard recently that Singapore's Silk air is starting the service to KTM from October, which might provide some relief to people coming to North America. I sympathize with you Tulsi! Government should take notice of this and raise their voice. However, i am afraid this is something that does not go away easily. God Bless!
