Your questions about flights to Kathmandu, answered

Find helpful route details based on KAYAK data, including flight times, airports, airlines, and booking questions.

  • Are there any cash exchange facilities at Tribhuvan Airport?

    Foreign visitors on flights to Kathmandu will be pleased to know that there are two money exchange counters in the arrivals lounge of the international terminal at Tribhuvan Airport to assist with your currency exchange transactions, and there is also a bank counter available on the premises for withdrawing cash and other financial services.

  • What lounges are there at Tribhuvan Airport?

    There are two lounges at Tribhuvan Airport: The Commercially Important Persons (CIP) Executive Lounge is a great place to relax before your flight and is located on the second floor of the international terminal building, while Thai Royal Silk Lounge is on the first floor of the departures hall just after the Passport Control area.

  • Are there any tourist information desks at Tribhuvan Airport?

  • How do I get from Tribhuvan Airport to downtown Kathmandu?

    Buses from Tribhuvan Airport to downtown are a reliable and cheap method of public transportation after your flight to Kathmandu, but they tend to be rather crowded, so you may prefer to visit the taxi counter outside the terminal and grab a taxi to complete the journey in about 15-20 minutes. Car rental is of course always an option.

  • Which airlines should I consider for flights to Kathmandu?

Your guide to booking Kathmandu flights

From booking to airport arrival, find tips to help you plan your flight with more confidence.
  • For the best chance at a low fare to Kathmandu, aim to book around 15 weeks before you fly. That window historically saves about 9% versus last-minute pricing based on KAYAK booking data over the last 12 months.
  • For flights to Kathmandu, recent KAYAK data shows that stronger deals tend to be around ₹ 15,617 return. If you see a fare below that threshold, it's a good deal – book before the price climbs back up.
  • If you can choose when to go, aim to travel to Kathmandu in December. Return fares historically average ₹ 17,491 that month – typically the cheapest month to travel based on the last 12 months.
  • Before you book:

    • Check the route's typical price range so you can spot a deal.
    • Confirm baggage fees and seat selection costs on budget carriers.
    • Verify whether you need any travel documents beyond an ID.
    • Pick a departure airport, since your nearest may not be the cheapest origin.
  • Shift your departure to afternoon to save up to ₹ 1,996 per return. Afternoon flights to Kathmandu average ₹ 20,914 compared to ₹ 22,910 for evening flights. See the time-of-day chart above for the full breakdown.
  • Bag allowances vary by airline, fare type, cabin class, and route. On flights to Kathmandu, some airlines may include bags at no extra cost. For example, IndiGo includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy class, Nepal Airlines includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy class, and Air India includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy class. Always check the fare details before booking, since bag policies can change by ticket type.
  • Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) otherwise known as Tribhuvan Airport is the only international airport in the country of Nepal and the main gateway to the Himalayas. Tribhuvan Airport lies about 6 kilometres outside of downtown Kathmandu and is a hub for several air carriers, including the national carrier, Nepal Airlines.
  • Since downtown Kathmandu is only about 6 kilometres away from Tribhuvan Airport, a lot of the accommodation in the city centre provides complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport for their guests. Norbulinka Boutique Hotel, Avataar Kathmandu Hotel and DOM Himalaya Hotel are the names of a few who offer the service.
  • Due to the geographical location of Tribhuvan Airport, there is a limited range of options in terms of shopping, so your best bet is to make most of your purchases while you’re in the city centre. However, there is a small duty-free shop located in the departures lounge of the international terminal for any tax-free items on your list.
  • There are three locations at Tribhuvan Airport if you need to park your vehicle. The operation/airline building has a nearby area suitable for two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles, as does the area in front of the domestic terminal building, while the area in front of the international terminal building serves VIP, government and diplomatic traffic.
  • If you are a family flying with children on your flight to Kathmandu, you should know that there is no play area for kids at Kathmandu Airport. If you have an infant however, there is a breast-feeding room located in the arrivals lounge after immigration and another in the departures lounge near the sterile hall.

Too many carryon bags with size of checking bags. Because of that space was not there to put carry on backpacks.

Very poor. The flight was delayed for over an hour. Also, our baggage, including that of many passengers, approimately 180 bags did not arrive, and we are yet to receive it.

All good, on time, depart.only bad side was, airxraft is too old to be in business.hope ailine will manage somethinv somewhat.all good

When flying from Indian Sector, should be more prepared with Indian food

This leg of the trip was smoother than compared to the initial trip. Sri Lankan Airlines still have much work to do to improve the overall travel experience.

Very good crew, very efficient. Unfortunately not all items listed in duty free catalog were available.

Many changes need to be addressed from airport check in to flight departure. If they observe other major airlines, then they can expect what Sri Lankan airlines need to update their procedures.

Very professional and well managed. On time, great staff and comfortable.

Because of the bubble agreement b/w India and Srilanka, I was not allowed to board the flight to Columbo. My experience about airport representatives was good. They were through in their job and saved my family from getting stuck in Columbo (as I would not be able to fly to Doha because of bubble agreement). So by their prompt attention, such a catastrophe was avoided. For this reason, even without flying with them, I would rate them 7/10.

I changed the flight, there was restriction from srilanka to india - airline is not allowing me to board with that ticket, i changed the ticket for my travel. Thanks!

Paid for the seat 17D. I found that that seat has no lean back facilities

Flight was short but turbulent giving uneasy feeling :( ; although views were mesmerising ;)

Flight boarding experience with journey was smooth; can describe it as a less to minimal turbulent flight!

I paid 675£ for LHR-BOM-BKK (return flight). They charged so much money but provide very less food/drinks as compared to another airlines. Never ever fly with Indigo.

Just fly from point a to b. rest holds zero stars. And with zero competition, what do you expcect

Flight was delayed 110 mins.. Crew on Ground or in Air had no regrets.. No apologies... Very poor boarding process... Awful food and beverage choice.

Flight was delayed and due to this we almost miss the connection flight

The flight was delayed by 3 hours, causing me to miss my connecting international flight. I then had to wait in the airport 18 hours for the next flight. The reason for the delay was a computer issue, not something outside of their control like weather. To add insult to injury, instead of trying to expedite the flight to make up for lost time, they ran a carry-on baggage check to verify every bag onboard belonged to someone on the plane, which took another 20 minutes.

झूठा है इंडिगो फ्लाइट में मील दिया नहीं जब शिकायत किया तो बोला आपको मिल चुका है

It took a lot of time to declare that the flight gonna be cancelled ☹️ very disappointed.

Poor customer service! They don’t have 24/7 customer service. I was stranded in the transit area of the airport for over 21 hours. I was denied to board a plane without any help that caused my entire return flight to be cancelled. I had to book an entire new return flights. It caused me lots of stress, waste of my time and money.

What started as a small delay at checkin ended up being a two and a half hour delay by the time the plane took off. The annoying part was that we weren’t told what the holdup was.

Offer a pillow in business class for night flight. More comfortable seats. Offer alcoholic beverages. Get flight attendants that care.

It was not possible to do an online checkin with Nepal Airlines. Apart from that, all the rest was very good : good food, friendly staff that ensure that Covid rules are respected (not always easy),…

Standard Air India quality service. Nothing out of the ordinary. Exactly what anyone wants : efficient, polite, and gracious service; a comfortable seat; and on-time service

Flight was delayed almost 4 hours departing Goa. Even on arrival, there were busses to carry passengers to the terminal which were very delayed. All in all, an unpleasant experience.

The flight was cancelled and no support was offered and the rescheduled flight had several delays!! Terrible experience!

The crew was polite. The snacks were served cold and were tasteless.

Absolutely ignorant Air India personnel at the Air India counters in Cochin Airport.

Air India Express operates as a separate airline, so it says. Air India Express is a subsidiary of Air India and is part of the Tata Group, which acquired a 100% stake in the airline. (https://www.tata.com/business/air-india-express). Yet Air India express is not a member of Star Alliance, so Star Alliance gold members do not receive the benefits they would had they traveled on a mainline Air India flight. Even though it's a subsidiary of Air India, which is a Star Alliance airline. Very frustrating.

When landing in Hyderabad, the pilot made a hard landing. Everyone in the plane were shocked. The captain landed the plane hard and felt as if we were going to be thrown out from our seats. It was surprising the captain didn't apologize or make an announcement about. Again a surprise no crew acknowledge this. This was an odd experience!

I appreciated a meal on the shorter flight. It was slightly delayed with no announcement but I was able to determine what was happening.

I don't think there were entertainment options (short flight) - which is why I gave the 'ok' sign. Didn't make a diff in my flight experience either way, however

Really old air craft, broken seats and tray tables. Entertainment screens don’t work. Charging ports didn’t work.

Poor, pilot flew as if he was in hurry and had to coverup for wasted time

seats were not comfortable, entertainment was not working and food could be much better, given the airline calls itself full service and india's flag carrier.

The planes did not have charging jacks for phones or lap tops and there are no monitors for movies. On the flight from Delhi to Hyderabad I was the last person in First asked for a meal choice and only one meal was available so I had no choice.

Crew was polite. Ground crew was prompt in informing about the flight delay. Boarding process was ok. There was no entertainment on the flight. Blankets were not available for an overnight flight. It was very cold & blanket was given upon request. Food was average. It would have been better to serve breakfast instead of a late night dinner as people like to sleep & serving breakfast before disembarking in the morning at Singapore would have been much appreciated. Seats were ok. Plane was old.

Flight got delayed by 3 hours but no compensation or anything
