Nepal Airlines quietly turned the cats-in-cargo answer from unknown to yes, and that shifts what you can actually book. I re-read the pet page, added the citation to my running airline sheet, and cross-checked against last quarter's version. The dog rows on this carrier are marked stale — worth reading carefully rather than trusting at a glance. Small carriers change these lines without a press release; a spreadsheet catches what a headline misses.
Nepal Airlines's pet policy splits into cabin and cargo. This page summarizes the weight limits, fees, brachycephalic-breed restrictions, and carrier specifications for both modes — sourced from the airline's official pet pages.

Luna has taught me that "allowed" and "practical" live in two different columns. Nepal Airlines' cats-in-cargo yes is real, but the crate spec, fees, and booking window still need direct confirmation before you count on them. If you're routing a pet through here, run your dates through Pawgo's plan-builder — the plan will lay out what is verified, what is stale, and exactly which phone call to make.
