September 17: Three major tourist destinations of the country have now been connected to each other by airways. Buddha Air has started fight services from Pokhara to Bharatpur and Bhairahawa from September 15.

Buddha Air said it started the Bharatpur-Pokhara flights upon the request of tourism entrepreneurs as the industry was hard hit by the dwindling number of tourists due to the ongoing road upgradation works in Narayangadh-Mungling road section.

According to Gautam Baral, manager of Buddha Air’s Pokhara-based office, the rate of Pokhara-Bharatpur flight has been fixed at Rs 3,650 while Pokhara-Bhairahawa flight costs Rs 4,200.

Tourism entrepreneurs are hopeful that the inflow of tourists will increase with the commencement of the flight services as the Narayangadh-Mugling road upgradation work coupled with landslides had obstructed the arrival of tourists, particularly from India.

In addition to this, they also believe that the flight services will also promote internal tourism. Bharat Raj Parajuli, vice-president of Pokhara Tourism Council (PTC), said that the new flight schedule will boost tourist arrival.

“The new route has made it convenient for the arrival of Indian tourists from Bhairahawa,” he said.
