      Sarah

      Traveler•Written March 2023

      I would like you to arrange flight from Kathmandu to Paro to Kathmandu as I have no idea what times to book these flights for per itinerary. Flights are limited so I want to ensure the reservation is made. How much more do I need to pay for one night extra lodging before being in Kathmandu and the flight? What time will I arrive back from Paro so I can make my flight arrangements from the USA? Are there others signed up for these dates?

    • Oriental Journeys Pvt. Ltd.Operator•Written March 2023

      I will let you know all details about the flights and cost for it as it is finalized. As this is a good season to travel there, we are expecting more people to join it. Till the date, you are one to book for it.
