There is a great news for Ilam, Nepal lovers that on Monday, 4th June 2018 Tara Air Nepal has successfully tested it's test flight. The flight duration from Tribhuwan International Airport, Kathmandu to Sukilumba Airport, Ilam was landed in 57 minutes. I think it was with 18 seats as I read somewhere in article. Though it was only test flight and the constructions there is remaining lots still. There was condition for the further budget from gov. to be dispatched only after test flight after previous budget. Which has been completed now and if the work goes smoothly we can expect to take flights to Sukilumba Airport, Ilam, Nepal after 2 years as per reporters... Detail search keyword (Sukilumba Airport, Ilam, Nepal) if you want to learn more about it. currently I found a video here about the landing at the link below(if not removed in future)...

Once again I want to insist you that Ilam, Nepal is a place to be visited to get some extraordinary feelings. It's better for couples and families. Tea Gardens Around/Sunrise/Rani pond are some of the fascinating attractions in it. I belong to one of the corner in the same district but it doesn't mean I'm emphasizing my place. Myself I truly fall in deep sense while I will be travelling around hills with tea garden around there...... Hope to see you sometimes around there...
Thank you....
