    I'm planning a trekking holiday in Nepal this autumn, October/Novemberish. My dates are flexible, I'm just wondering what my best travel options are.
    Just need flights Dublin-Kathmandu, will arrange the rest when I get there.
    Mods, appreciate its more a travel question than outdoor pursuits but feel that I may get a more informed response here.

    Etihad from Dublin has a 1 stopper through Abu Dhabi.

    Be wary of flying through Delhi. I was out in Nepal last year and missed my connection to London on the way back. Had to wait 24 hours in the international transit area as my Kathmandu - Delhi carrier (Air India) wouldn't put me on a another flight that day even though it was their fault I missed my flight. I had no visa to enter India either so couldn't leave the airport hence the waiting in transfer area...

    I was there on October 1st last year, at the very start of the season. Had the khumbu valley to myself :) (almost)

    Flew Etihad Dublin-Dubai (I think)-Kathmandu. Fabulous carrier, great flight, got bumped to 1st class for the second leg, arrived in style and refreshed. (made up for the next 3weeks)
