Current Ticket Prices by Airline
✈️ Himalaya Airlines
Nepal’s international carrier offers daily flights with competitive pricing.
| Fare Class | Dhaka → Kathmandu | Kathmandu → Dhaka |
|---|---|---|
| Economy Promo | ৳15,000 – ৳18,000 | ৳8,000 – ৳12,000 |
| Economy Saver | ৳18,000 – ৳22,000 | ৳12,000 – ৳16,000 |

| Business Class | ৳55,000 – ৳75,000 | ৳45,000 – ৳60,000 |
Why is Kathmandu to Dhaka cheaper? Nepal uses a weaker currency (NPR), so tickets priced in Nepali Rupees convert to lower BDT amounts. This is normal and not an error.
✈️ Biman Bangladesh Airlines
Bangladesh’s national carrier operates 3-4 weekly flights.
| Fare Class | Dhaka → Kathmandu | Kathmandu → Dhaka |
|---|---|---|
| Economy Saver | ৳16,000 – ৳20,000 | ৳12,000 – ৳16,000 |

This is a common question. Here’s our honest advice:
| Option | Typical Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Round-Trip | ৳28,000 – ৳55,000 | Fixed travel dates, better value |
| Two One-Ways | ৳35,000 – ৳65,000 | Flexible return date, open itinerary |
Our recommendation: Book round-trip if you know your dates. You’ll typically save ৳5,000-15,000 compared to two separate one-way tickets.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Dhaka to Nepal flight cost?
One-way economy tickets range from ৳15,000 to ৳35,000 depending on airline, fare class, and season. Round-trip tickets typically cost ৳28,000 to ৳55,000. Peak season (September-November) prices are highest.
How long is the flight from Dhaka to Kathmandu?
The flight takes approximately 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. Both airlines operate direct flights — no connections required.
Do I need a visa for Nepal?
Bangladeshi citizens get visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport. The 15-day visa is free; 30-day costs $25. Bring your passport, one photo, and hotel booking confirmation.
Which airline is better — Himalaya or Biman?
Both are reliable. Himalaya Airlines flies daily and often has lower prices. Biman operates 3-4 times per week with slightly larger baggage allowance. We compare both for every booking.
What’s the cheapest day to fly to Nepal?
Midweek flights (Tuesday, Wednesday) are often cheaper than weekend flights. However, the bigger factor is booking 4-6 weeks ahead rather than last-minute.
What’s the cheapest month to visit Nepal?
December to February (winter) and June to August (monsoon) have the lowest airfares. However, winter can be cold at altitude, and monsoon brings heavy rain. The best value is late February or early March — reasonable prices with improving weather.
Is there a connecting flight to Nepal?
No, all flights between Dhaka and Kathmandu are direct. You don’t need to connect through any other city.
What currency is used in Nepal?
Nepali Rupee (NPR). As of January 2026, 1 BDT ≈ 1.4 NPR approximately. ATMs are widely available in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Carry some USD or BDT to exchange on arrival.
How do I get from Kathmandu airport to the city?
Pre-paid taxi counters are available at the airport (NPR 700-1,000 to Thamel). Many hotels offer airport pickup. Avoid negotiating with taxi drivers inside the terminal — use the official counters.
Can I book just the flight without a package?
Absolutely. We book flight-only tickets as well as complete tour packages. Just tell us what you need.
