India commands a healthy share in terms of generating tourist movements to Nepal. Today, with almost 40 flights per week to Kathmandu, air connectivity with India has shown a significant improvement.

The Mumbai leg of the program on August 2 was well attended by the local trade community and media – altogether 200.
