Expert Tips
“Take a stroll around the lofty stupas of Swayambhu, an ancient site otherwise known as the ‘Monkey Temple’. Capture a selfie with the monkeys, admire the panoramic views of Nepal and learn more about this sacred spot. You’ll feel like you’re among the clouds.”
“If you’re looking for adventure then I can think of no better place than Nepal. Trekking up to Everest Base Camp is an amazing bucket-list experience and one that most people will never do. It’s an exhausting challenge but one that, if you have the chance, you have to do.”
Nepal Multi-centre
To contrast Nepal’s laid back atmosphere with India’s lively cities, fly into Mumbai or Delhi
before making your way through India to Nepal.
You might have to take domestic flights during your exploration of Nepal. The country’s mountainous terrain and unpredictable weather can result in challenging flying conditions, and there have been more incidents here than in other countries. Unfortunately, Nepal also has a poor air safety record, which means that flying within the country is a known risk.
The EU included all Nepalese-registered airlines on the EU banned list in 2013, which bars them from flying in EU airspace. While no Nepalese-registered airlines currently fly within the EU, this ban was implemented to highlight the risk of flying in Nepal to EU citizens. Nepal’s airlines are unlikely to be members of any internationally recognized safety audit systems. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of Nepal does not operate to the same standards as those of Western nations.
In response to these concerns, independent air safety auditors visit Nepal annually on behalf of Enchanting Travels to assess the suitability of available carriers. Only those carriers that are approved by this audit are used by us. In the unlikely event of an emergency situation, such as a medical evacuation where helicopters may be needed, we also have a list of approved helicopters.
If any concerns arise regarding the safety of an approved airline, it is immediately removed from our list. The airline is reinstated only after our air safety auditors have confirmed that it meets acceptable safety standards.
