Why Trekkers Prefer Himalaya for Nepal Trips
Bangladeshi trekkers and adventure travelers heading to Nepal, for Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Circuit, Langtang Valley, Manaslu, or other Himalayan expeditions, often prefer Himalaya Airlines for one critical reason: baggage allowance.
Himalaya 30kg vs competitors 20kg means you can pack:
- Trekking poles (1.5kg pair)
- Down sleeping bag (2-3kg)
- Trekking boots (1.5-2kg)
- Multiple layers + down jacket (3-4kg)
- Climbing harness, crampons, ice axe (for higher elevation treks)
That extra 10kg often makes the difference between paying excess baggage fees (৳400-600/kg) at the airport or fitting everything in. For trekking groups, goFLY can pre-purchase excess baggage online, saves 30%: 01713-289179.
