        "question": "Which cities in Nepal can I fly to from Bangkok?",
        "answer": "From Bangkok you can fly non-stop to Kathmandu, the main gateway for Nepal. Some travelers also connect to Pokhara or Lumbini via a short domestic flight from Kathmandu. Kathmandu is the base for cultural tours and trekking, while Pokhara offers lakeside relaxation and Annapurna access."
      },
      "q1": {
        "question": "How long is the flight from Bangkok to Nepal?",

        "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Bangkok to Nepal?",
        "answer": "The cheapest time to fly from Bangkok to Kathmandu is typically during the shoulder months of late autumn and late winter, outside the monsoon and major holiday periods. Midweek departures — especially Tuesdays and Wednesdays — and early morning or late-night flights tend to be more affordable, while peak summer and Nepali festivals like Dashain and Tihar usually push fares higher.",
        "methodology": "The cheapest day of the week and time of day to depart are drawn from the same large sample of real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, grouped by the day of the week and by the time-of-day window of the outbound departure, with the lowest and average price reported for each. Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price. The typical price, the lowest fare, a 'great deal' threshold, and how fares are spread across price bands are summarized from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours, with a small fraction of extreme outlier fares excluded from the range."

      },
      "q7": {
        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from Bangkok to Nepal?",
        "answer": "U.S. citizens traveling from Bangkok to Nepal do need a visa, which you can obtain on arrival at Kathmandu airport or apply for online in advance. Short tourist visits are not visa-free, and rules can change, so check the latest entry requirements before your trip."
      },
      "q8": {
        "question": "Which airports in Nepal are best to fly into from Bangkok?",

It serves as the hub for all long-haul arrivals and connects to domestic flights for trekking regions like Pokhara and Lukla. No other Nepali airport currently receives international flights from Bangkok, so your choice is limited to Kathmandu."
