What happened
Pokhara remains one of Nepal's most important domestic air links, but flights in mountain and hill regions can be sensitive to weather and visibility changes.
Why it matters
A delayed domestic flight can affect paragliding, trekking starts, hotel check-ins, or international departures if the schedule has no buffer.
Who is affected
Travelers connecting Kathmandu, Pokhara, Annapurna trailheads, Mardi Himal, Sarangkot, and Lakeside stays should be especially careful with same-day onward plans.
What visitors should do
Keep critical international departures separate from domestic flight days, monitor airline messages, and consider overland backup only when road timing still fits the trip.
