Private jet charter in Nepal

Kathmandu lies close to 4,000 nautical miles from London in a straight line and about 4,746 on the track a business jet actually flies, which puts Nepal beyond the nonstop reach of most cabins and makes the fuel stop the first thing we plan. Private Jets UK files the landing permit, finds a handler on the ground and matches the airport to the part of the country you are heading for. Our customers have access to 6,500 jets of all types and configurations available for rent. We will help you choose the best option based on your needs and objectives. Our catalog contains the models from the largest manufacturers: Gulfstream, Dassault, Embraer, Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Learjet, Cessna, Beechcraft, Pilatus, HondaJet, etc. We have established partnerships with the world's largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you favourable flight conditions and a high level of service. Our experts will manage the organization of your flight - starting with paperwork, agreements, etc., and ending with a transfer and meeting at the airport. Our company provides a full range of business aviation and concierge services. For Nepal that means an application to the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal made well ahead of the date and a choice between Kathmandu, Pokhara and Bhairahawa.

 

 

At your request, the aviation consultants of Private Jets UK will help you choose the jet with the suitable technical parameters (production year, flight hours, and home base). The cost of the private jet charter to Nepal depends on many factors, such as the model of the business jet, the number of passengers, departure and destination airports, type of flight, duration of parking, additional services, etc. Therefore, we calculate the price of each order individually taking into account your wishes. You can use an online calculator to get an instant charter quote. Please indicate your real contact details to get the final calculation.

You can calculate the cost of your flight in several ways:

• using an online calculator on the website (however, it shows only the approximate price);
• via Messenger (WhatsApp or Telegram);
• by landline or cell phone;
• via e-mail (jets@private-jets.co.uk).

 

 

Please note that the above-mentioned price is indicative only. It is calculated on this basis: a departure from London Biggin Hill, an Embraer Praetor 600 to Kathmandu with one technical stop in Dubai and two passengers aboard. If you want to get a personal quote, just fill out the online booking form below. Our aviation consultant will make the calculation within 20 minutes, and then contact you to specify the details of the flight.

 

How long does it take to fly to Nepal?

Nepal keeps a time zone of its own, 5 hours 45 minutes ahead of Greenwich Mean Time and 4 hours 45 minutes ahead of British Summer Time, with no change of clocks. The figures below start at London Biggin Hill, use the lowest-priced aircraft that can fly the sector and count about an hour on the ground for the technical stop:

The exact flight time depends on the model of the business jet, as well as the speed of the tail or head wind. Our consultant will make a detailed calculation of the flight time for the chosen business jet.

 

 

Prices for the private jet flights to Nepal

Typical one-way prices from Britain, cheapest first. The Embraer Praetor 600 heads the list because it reaches Nepal with a single stop in Dubai at a lower hourly rate than any other aircraft that can do so. Every figure includes the stop shown in its row:

 

 

Private jet flights within Nepal and to its neighbours

The three international airports are close together by jet standards. Kathmandu to Pokhara is 80 nautical miles, Kathmandu to Bhairahawa 108, and Delhi, Varanasi, Kolkata and Dhaka all lie within about 500 nautical miles of the capital. The figures show scale rather than a firm quote, because a foreign aircraft needs a permit for each landing and a second authority on the far side:

 

 

We can arrange the flights from any cities in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and European countries. Due to a large database of available business jets, we can help you find an optimal jet and crew. If you have any questions about the departure or the flight itself, you can ask them using the form below:

 

 

Prices depending on the type of business jet

For a sector this long we also look for aircraft positioned in the Gulf or South Asia.

Business aviation airports in Nepal

A foreign aircraft lands only where its permit says it may, so the airport is chosen together with the permit. Kathmandu takes nearly all private arrivals:

 

Five rules shape every arrival:

 

Arriving from Britain: visa, customs declaration and what to carry

The traveller, the aircraft and the papers that tie them together are all checked on the way in.

Coming home is a flight into Britain: a General Aviation Report goes to the border authorities not earlier than 48 hours and not later than two hours before departure, and British and Irish citizens need no electronic travel authorisation for Britain. The first landing must be at an aerodrome that is regulated for customs, since a landing at an unregulated one carries a fine of £2,500.

 

 

Which airport for which part of Nepal

Start from the bed and work back to the runway:

 

Kathmandu, Pokhara and the mountains: what our clients go for

Eight of the world's ten highest mountains lie wholly or partly in Nepal, and the tallest, Everest, which the Nepalese call Sagarmatha, stands at 8,848.86 metres. Most visitors come to see that wall of rock from close by, on foot or by air.

UNESCO lists four places in Nepal: the Kathmandu Valley, Sagarmatha National Park, Chitwan National Park and Lumbini. In the valley the old royal squares, the stupas and the riverside temple complex of Pashupatinath make a day of walking. Pokhara is the gentler half of a trip, with a lake, boat trips and the Annapurna range standing over the water in clear weather.

 

Nepalese seasons: clear autumns, a hot spring and the monsoon

The weather decides the views, the roads and the mornings on which a runway is usable:

 

The Nepalese calendar: Dashain, Tihar and the spring festivals

Most dates follow the lunar calendar and move from one year to the next, so the months below are typical and not fixed:

 

 

Flying to Nepal with a dog or a cat

A dog or cat can fly to Nepal in the cabin, but the paperwork starts weeks ahead, and the way home is the harder half.

Britain's rules for the return are stricter. Nepal is not on Britain's list of countries with simple pet-travel rules, and for a dog or a cat coming from such a country Britain requires a Great Britain pet health certificate and a rabies blood test:

• A rabies vaccination first, then a blood sample taken at least 30 days after it, sent by the vet to an approved laboratory, with a result of 0.5 IU/ml or higher;
• A wait of three months from the date of the sample before the animal may travel to Britain, and the sample stays valid for as long as the rabies vaccinations are kept up to date;
• A Great Britain pet health certificate for the journey;
• For a dog, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival in Britain;
• Quarantine for up to four months if the rules are not met.

The sensible plan is to have the sample taken in Britain, months before departure, so that the three months have run out before the flight back. For a private flight we confirm the entry point and the paperwork for the animal in writing before the flight.

Other destinations, and the general rules for travelling with an animal on a private jet, are set out on our flying with pets guide.

 

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a flight the operator has to make anyway, with the cabin vacant, and so it is priced low rather than flown for nothing.

A client who can move by a week or two has the best chance. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. A selection of Nepalese empty legs follows, at roughly 40 percent of a fresh charter:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

In Nepal the helicopter is the way into the mountains, and the main reason a jet client changes aircraft at Kathmandu. These are the names we can give:

The times below are our straight-line estimates for a typical turbine helicopter in good visibility, counting a few minutes for start and approach:
