Qatar Airways chk-in at Kolkata was absurd. I was delayed chk-in despite all verified travel docs as the chk-in supervisor had to speak to the shift manager. Having waited 30 minutes, I have no plausible explanation from the team other than there ticket did not have my profession (Sea-Farer) mentioned in the booking. The chk-in supervisor/ shift manager didn't professionally handle my return travel verification question. Knowing the reason of the delay/ wait is every passengers right and the staff should remain transparent about it. Qatar Flt (DOH/SEA) missed a complete snack service for Zone3 port side. Stbd side had a complete service. Instead of a service recovery and an immediate follow-up I was offered a bag of crisps & Kit-kat instead. Staff turned a cold shoulder. I dropped my luggage at SEA AS counter for drop-off. This was for my AS 67 connection to KTN. One piece made it on flt AS67 while the 2nd piece is still awaited, was assured AS 69 for the the same evening but the delivery of the luggage can only happen the afternoon following. Quite a series of incidents, very unlikely of Qatar/ (AS code-share). I am looking at some decent mileage at least for the inconvenience if not other modes of compensation. I shall leave it up to your evaluation.

Cheap flights to Nepal are in demand by adventure travellers and those seeking spiritual enlightenment. This mountainous country, situated between China and India, has a reputation for otherworldliness. It is the birthplace of Lord Buddha at Lumbini and the Hindu Lord Sita at Janakpur, home to a living goddess (or Kumari), warriors famed for their bravery (the Gurkhas) and, perhaps most famous of all, Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world. It is also said to be the stomping ground of the abominable snowman (or yeti).
Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital and largest city, was, in the 1960s and 1970s, a must-visit destination for hippies seeking spiritual enlightenment. Today, it’s still a required stop on the backpacker trail, more sprawling and smoggier than it was 30 years ago. It’s still a wonderful and magical city and many visitors use it as a starting point for trekking holidays in the Himalayas.
The Kathmandu Valley alone boasts seven of Nepal’s eight World Cultural Heritage Sites: Durbar Squares of Hanuman Dhoka (Kathmandu), Patan and Bhaktapur, the Buddhist stupas of Swayambhu and Bauddhanath and the Hindu temples of Pashupati and Changu Narayan. Nepal is also home to the Natural World Heritage Sites of Everest National Park and Chitwan National Park.
The most popular treks are those to the Everest region but the Annapurna region in west-central Nepal and Langtang treks in central Nepal are also hugely popular, offering the experiences of a lifetime.
Nepal has a range of climates – tropical forest, jungle, snowfields and glaciers. As in neighbouring India, the monsoon winds have a great influence on the weather. Late June to September is the rainy season and October to May the dry season. During the rainy season visitors can expect an average of two to three hours of sunshine each day. There’s also a good chance of flooding in parts of the country. The dry season is much more pleasant – warm weather and between six and nine hours of sunshine each day. Naturally, the higher you go, the colder it gets.
If you’re trekking or seeing the sights of Kathmandu, you’ll be getting around on foot. Domestic airlines offer flights around Nepal, but to get the authentic Nepalese experience take the bus. There are micro buses in Kathmandu (and Tempos – three wheeler auto-rickshaws), local buses and tourist buses that travel between Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan, Lumbini-Bhairahawa and the border towns. Renting a car with a driver or renting a motorbike are also options.
