Ni Hao, Pokhara! Lake city to see more charter flights from China

The $215.96 million Pokhara International Airport, funded by Beijing, has yet to see a commercial flight operation since its inauguration on January 1, 2023.

Tourism entrepreneurs in Pokhara are proving to be rather enterprising. With the government failing to attract international flights to the new airport in Nepal’s tourism capital, they have taken it upon themselves to bring the facility into use, starting with charter flights.
