Delhi is the capital city of India, and many Nepalis travel to Delhi for official work and for vacation too. But many Nepalis travel to Delhi for their officials work, and many students go there to apply for visas to many nations. And for such work, you have a limited time. If you have to go through the railways, then it will take at least two days to reach Delhi. So there is a direct flight to Delhi from Kathmandu.
There are many airlines that have daily flights to Delhi from Kathmandu. Nepal Airlines, Indigo, Vistara, Air India, and Sri Lanka Airlines have almost daily flights to Delhi. But among these airlines, Nepal Airlines offers cheap ticket rates for Nepalis. And another benefit of flying through Nepal Airlines is that they provide a delicious meal along with coffee and cold drinks. Isn’t it worth it? I remember travelling to Delhi on Nepal Airlines, and I was busy for 45 minutes on food only. They served cold drinks, biryani, and coffee, and everyone was enjoying themselves.
As per the Nepal Airlines sales team, due to the meals, Indian passengers also prefer to travel with Nepal Airlines. You will find it hard to get a cheap Nepal Airlines ticket if you don’t book your ticket 15 days in advance. And among all other airlines, Nepal Airlines offers cheap rates.
The normal fare from Kathmandu to Delhi via Nepal Airlines is Rs. 11,000, whereas other airlines offer Rs. 12,000. A business class ticket to Delhi will cost around Rs. 45,000. The price mentioned is taken from today’s fare. Fares may change time and again. To book a ticket online with Nepal Airlines to Delhi, click here.

There is a second option for traveling to Delhi from Kathmandu by night bus. There are various night bus services, and most of them have almost daily buses to Delhi. You should also book your tickets ahead of time to get a good deal. Let me give you a glimpse of my journey to Delhi by bus.
I usually used to travel to Delhi via Nepal Airlines or by train from Biratnagar. But this time I wanted to experience bus service from Kathmandu to Delhi. And I booked the ticket two days ago. A one-way ticket costs Rs. 4500. The night bus was luxurious, but it’s not a double-decker bus. It’s a single-decker bus.
The bus will pick you up from Kathmandu at around 9 a.m., and tomorrow morning at around 11 a.m., you will reach New Delhi. The bus will travel through Agra. As the road from Narayanghat to Sunaul is disturbed due to construction, it will take a few hours more. You can call this number to book tickets: 01-4287868, 4033656, 4033653.
Documents needed while traveling from Kathmandu to Delhi by bus:
- You should carry your citizenship or passport. On the border between India and Nepal, you have to show the documents.
- Bus ticket throughout your journey as you may need to show
- Covid vaccination card
