Buddha Air Kathmandu to Pokhara

Today we are off to Pokhara, gateway to Nepal's Annapurna region.   And what could be more comforting than flying Buddha Air!   Today is our first look at the "rustic" KTM domestic terminal.  A new terminal is under construction and apparently has been for some time... and will be for quite some time.

After a rather primitive security check which involved a pat down we are in the departures lounge.

Hey, there is even a lounge.  

The door wasn't locked... so I went in.   Whoa, this is one butt ugly lounge.  Snapped a couple of quick pics before security came in and asked why I was there and told me to get out as this was "only for VIPs".    I debated whether to have fun with the guy but decided to shut up and apologzed and left.  LOL.

Meanwhile over near our "gate"

Risked that they didn't really mean this like in the UAE...

On the bus to our gate.

Not sure if our FA was welcoming us or telling me no pics.  Ha.

If you fly to Pokhara, DO NOT fly Buddha Air.  Crappy old ATRs but the worst part is the window are so filthy and scratched that is very difficult to see anything.  Fly Yeti or GOMA.
