October 25: Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) has launched its services to the hill districts of Far Western Nepal.    
The national flag-carrier has extended the services to the hill destinations of the Far West bearing in mind the inconvenience to the people caused by the current obstruction of roadways because of the recent rainfall.
