Turkish Airlines has added flights to Kathmandu, the capital and largest city of Nepal, as the 29th destination served in the Far East, growing the world’s largest country network for an airline to 104 countries.

Roundtrip flights between Istanbul and Kathmandu will operate four times per week.

For the first six months of flights to the new destination there is a special offer for Miles&Smiles members, with a 25 per cent reduction in the miles needed to redeem either award tickets or upgrades, a statement said.

Kathmandu has a long history dating to 100 BC and is home to Unesco cultural and historical sites. Nepal offers opportunities for climbing, trekking and rafting expeditions across the Himalayan range. – TradeArabia News Service
