Prayagraj to Pokhara Flights

The Prayagraj to Pokhara air route connects Bamrauli (IXD) to Pokhara (PKR). This is one of the busiest international routes with multiple daily departures operated by 5 airlines.

As an international route, travellers need a valid passport and appropriate visa for the destination country. It's recommended to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights.

Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Prayagraj and Pokhara. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Many Indian pilgrims travel from Prayagraj to Pokhara as a jumping-off point for exploring Nepal's temples and natural beauty. Pokhara offers stunning views of the Annapurna range and a more relaxed pace than Kathmandu. The city is known for its adventure activities and serene lakeside atmosphere.

Best time to fly

October to December is the best time to visit Pokhara, with clear skies and pleasant temperatures. March to May is also good, though slightly warmer. Avoid the monsoon season from June to September due to heavy rainfall.
