Travel from Nepal
International Baggage Rules
There is no single baggage allowance for every international flight from Nepal.
Your baggage depends on the airline, route, fare class, aircraft and ticket conditions.
In this guide
Check three allowances
01
Checked baggage
Look for total kilograms or number of pieces.
02
Cabin baggage
Check both weight and dimensions.
03
Personal item
Some fares allow a separate small bag; others do not.
Never assume two airlines have the same rule
A 30 kg allowance on one airline does not mean 30 kg on your connection.
For codeshare journeys, check the baggage rule shown on the actual ticket.
Liquids
International cabin-baggage security commonly restricts liquids and gels.
Follow the current security instructions for your departure and transit airports.
Power banks and spare lithium batteries
These are frequently restricted from checked baggage and may need to travel in cabin baggage subject to airline limits.
Always confirm your airline’s current battery rule before packing.
Medicines
Carry essential medication in cabin baggage with supporting prescription or documentation where appropriate.
Destination countries can restrict certain medicines even when they are legal in Nepal.
Valuable documents
Never place these in checked baggage:
passport
visa documents
money/cards
essential medicine
important electronics
travel insurance evidence
Excess baggage
Buying extra allowance online before the airport can sometimes be cheaper, but this depends entirely on airline policy.
Common mistakes
- checking baggage based on an old ticket;
- assuming student or labour fares have the same allowance as tourist fares;
- packing power banks in checked luggage;
- carrying oversized cabin bags; and
- forgetting transit-airport restrictions.
