Welcome to New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport,Terminal 3 Departures where all the intl flights depart out to various countries across the world.This is my first time flying to Kathmandu via DEL as my previous flight was via BOM (Mumbai Intl) and that was with Jet Airways 738NG but this time is alao my first time with Nepal airlines so Im excited to experience their services.
Our aircraft today is A320 (SL) Reg.9N-AKW and it was on time which is actually rare for this particular flight as its notoriously known to be delayed more often than not.The boarding began and it wasnt zone wise or no organization of crowds rather first come first serve basis so thankfully my attentiveness to board got me to board first.
The Cabin looked fairly neat and seats were comfortable and had ample legroom for someone my height also all the seats were equiped with an adjustable headrest but I just wish the headrest covers could be a little cleaner.
The cabin was devided into two with 8 business class seats and the rest economy seats.Nepal Airlines has two A320s and 2 A330-200s in their fleet as of 2025 and I hope they order more aircrafts to expand their route network.Soon after the boarding was complete the flight took off on time and shortly after takeoff the meal services began with options of vegetarian and non vegetarian.
I, obviously opted for the vegetarian option and the meal tray came with the main meal box along with a block of brownie plus a muffin and later the beverages were offered too with options to choose from a soft drink to a fruit juice of which I opted the latter.
In main meal we had a mushroom chilli curry along with mixed veggie rice and it tasted as sumptuous as it looked so no complaints on the meal's department.
After about an hour into our flight cruising at 38,000 FT we began our descent into a freshly washed kathmandu with a view so magical and beautiful that I would describe as the most beautiful landing view on the planet.
I would definitely recommend everyone to watch this particular landing view on my YouTube Channel to experience the exuberance of the beautiful himalayan valley of kathmandu.We landed on time and made our way into the tarmac parking next to Nepal Airlines other A320.
I hope you enjoyed this flight report and do stay tuned for more flight reports.Thank you for flying with me.
