  • Tribhuvan International Airport is the only airport operating international flights within the whole of Nepal. Flights from London to Kathmandu will touch down at Tribhuvan International Airport, and the majority of flights depart from London Heathrow and Gatwick. There are no direct flights operating from London to Kathmandu, so flight time can vary widely depending on layovers.
  • Tribhuvan International airport lies about 3 miles from Kathmandu city centre, and there are a few transit options to get you there from the terminal. The budget option for city centre arrival is Sajha Yatayat, the city’s public bus system. A fare from Tribhuvan Airport to the Kathmandu city centre will cost you around Rs 20 (£0.15).
  • If you’re not feeling up to taking on Nepalese public transport, taxis can be taken into the city centre after your flight from London to Kathmandu for a reasonable price. Beware of taxi drivers offering rides without displayed prices and choose either pre-hired taxis that have been arranged through your hotel or taxis with displayed pricing for the best deal.
  • For weary travellers looking for some peace and quiet before the departure of their return flights or the flights to their next destinations, access to the Tribhuvan International Airport’s CIP Lounge can be purchased for around Rs 450 (£3.15) per hour. This airport lounge area isn’t equipped with the bells and whistles you’ll find in more modern airports, but there is a selection of snacks and beverages.
  • Airport shopping options are limited at Tribhuvan International Airport. With that said, if you’ve forgotten to pick up a trinket for your friends or family during your time in Nepal, handcrafted souvenirs and other small items can be purchased from one of the few shops in the international terminal building.
  • To avoid waiting in line at London Heathrow (LHR), Gatwick (LGW) and Stansted airports (STN), book a Fast Track security pass to enjoy access to a dedicated lane so you can breeze through the security checks. Upgrade your airport experience and purchase your Premium Pass online in advance or at the airport on your day of travel.
