Mark your calendars for 10 November 2024, as that’s when daily flights to Bhairahawa Airport, also called Gautam Buddha International Airport (BWA), officially take off. This route promises a hassle-free travel experience for anyone eager to explore Nepal’s scenic beauty or visit the sacred birthplace of Buddha in Lumbini Province.

These new flights will operate from Terminal 2 of Dubai International Airport (DXB). On the return, the service will stop briefly in Kathmandu before flying back to Dubai. This route caters to growing travel demand between Dubai and Nepal, offering a convenient connection for pilgrims and adventure seekers alike.
