What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Kathmandu for April 20 to June 20, 2027, round trips of 3 to 7 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- Ask any Patan shopkeeper where the chariot is parked; it is never far and never where it was last week.
- The chariot topples some years; watch from side lanes, not from directly ahead.
- Patan is 6 km from Kathmandu airport, 20 to 40 minutes by taxi.
