FAQs - booking Kathmandu flights

  • Which airlines fly to Kathmandu?

    Many major airlines serve Kathmandu, including Emirates, Qatar Airways, KLM, Air India and Turkish Airlines. As there are no direct flights to Kathmandu available from the UK, your journey will include a layover in your airline’s hub city, for example Dubai, Qatar or Istanbul.

  • What kind of services does Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport offer?

    Kathmandu Airport is quite small and basic in the services it offers, the majority of which are in the Departures zone. Besides a few snack bars, you will find one duty-free shop and some stalls selling local handicrafts, souvenirs and postcards. There is a post office in the International Terminal (landside) and a few charging stations in the International Departures zone. As in all other airports, you will find toilet facilities, however you may need to provide your own toilet paper and soap.

  • Is there a lounge I can access at Kathmandu Airport?

    Travellers on flights to Kathmandu who are looking for a place to relax away from the bustle of the airport can do so in the Executive Lounge, located landside on the 2nd Floor of the International Terminal. The lounge offers meals, snacks, drinks, newspapers and a television and is open daily from 06:00 to 23:00. Economy passengers may access the lounge by pre-booking a pass online or paying a fee on the door if there is space.

  • How much is a taxi from Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport to the city centre?

    Pre-paid, metered and non-metered taxis are available round the clock at Kathmandu Airport, all with varying rates. To get to the city centre, you can expect to pay around 550-1000 NPR (3.50-6.50 GBP) in a pre-paid taxi or 400-600 NPR (2.50-4 GBP) in a metered taxi. If you choose a non-metered taxi, you will need to negotiate a fare with the driver before getting in.

  • Can I exchange currency at Kathmandu Airport?

    If you need some local currency after your flight to Kathmandu – a good idea if you plan to use a taxi or public transport to complete your journey – you will find a currency exchange counter downstairs in the International Arrivals Hall. An ATM is also available just outside the airport, to the right-hand side as you exit the terminal.

  • Are direct flights to Kathmandu available from the UK?

    Direct flights to Kathmandu are not available from UK airports. Instead, Kathmandu flights usually involve a single layover, often in the United Arab Emirates. If you fly to Kathmandu from Manchester Airport with Qatar Airways, you will change planes at Doha International Airport. Meanwhile, if you fly from London Gatwick or from Birmingham Airport with Emirates, you will stopover at Dubai Airport.

  • Can I reduce my carbon emissions on Kathmandu flights?

    If you’re concerned about your carbon footprint, you can cut your emissions by more than 50% if you fly to Kathmandu from London Heathrow with Air India. This route involves a single layover in Delhi. You can also lower your emissions by flying from Manchester Airport with multiple airlines. However, this will require you to make several stops before you land in Kathmandu and may be slightly more expensive than more direct routes.

  • How far is Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport from central Kathmandu?

    Central Kathmandu is 3 miles away from Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport.

  • What is the name of Kathmandu’s airport?

    When flying to Kathmandu, you'll arrive at Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport (KTM). The airport is also known as Tribhuvan.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights to Kathmandu?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights to Kathmandu.

  • How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy my flight ticket to Kathmandu?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a flight to Kathmandu is likely to change within 7 days, so travellers know whether to wait or book now.

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights to Kathmandu?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional round-trip ticket. You could then fly to Kathmandu with an airline and back with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight to Kathmandu?

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying to Kathmandu up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Kathmandu

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Kathmandu flight deals.
  • The first thing that you will notice when arriving at Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport (KTM) is the mountainous scenery surrounding it. Travellers on flights to Kathmandu from Europe and countries to the West will usually find the best views from the left-hand side of the plane.
  • Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport is divided into two terminals: International and Domestic. Situated side by side, it is easy to walk between the two (even with luggage), although some porter touts may try to claim that it isn’t.
  • When claiming your baggage at Kathmandu Airport, you will need to show the portion of your luggage tag that was attached to your boarding pass – make sure you don’t throw this away before you have left the terminal building! Luggage trolleys are available at baggage reclaim and free to use.
  • Feeling hungry when you arrive at Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport? The majority of food outlets at the airport – largely limited to snack bars – are in the Departures section, but there is one Airport Restaurant in the terminal building. Some shops also sell sandwiches, tea and coffee.
  • Weary travellers arriving on long flights to Kathmandu may want nothing more than to sleep and fortunately, there are several hotels more or less opposite the airport. The Hotel Meridian Suite, the Regal Airport Hotel, the Summit Residency and the Palagya Hotel are all 2min drive away from Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport – it is worth booking a free shuttle transfer to avoid crossing a busy major road on foot.
  • If you are travelling further into the city and prefer using public transport, green public buses connect the airport to the city centre at irregular intervals. The price for a one-way ticket is 20 NPR (0.15 GBP).
  • If you’re booked on flights to Kathmandu, make sure that you have checked the country’s up-to-date visa requirements with Nepal’s Department of Immigration. You can get a visa on arrival in Nepal by filling out a Tourist Visa form at Kathmandu Airport and an Arrival Card, which will be given to you during your flight. You must also have a valid British Passport with more than 6 months of ongoing validity.
  • Charging stations for phones and other devices are available in the Arrivals area at Kathmandu Airport. These stations have universal plug sockets so you don’t need to search through your bags for an adaptor.
  • If you want quick flights to Kathmandu from UK airports, it is advisable to fly from London Heathrow with Air India. Flights on this route take just under 12h. If you want quick flights that are slightly cheaper, you could also fly from Manchester Airport or from London Heathrow Airport with Qatar Airways. Flights on this route usually take just over 13h and include one layover.

Milan airport was bad experience. They should be more polite.

The journey was nice, all the crews were very good and services are excellent

in today's time, an airline like emirates didnt serve drinks as requested, Excuse was full flight.

Great flight - Clubhouse met our needs, and the staff provided good service. Boarding felt a little chaotic, but given the size of the aircraft, it's always going to be challenging. Whilst the crew were friendly, the number of passengers meant that we received our breakfast items, but had finished breakfast before we were served a drink. Lunch was much better organised, and throughout the flight, the crew were attentive. Found the seats and ICE to be excellent. Disembarkation was fine, and everything possible to expedite the process was being done.

I take emirates because of direct flights Otherwise no Cabin crew niot friendly and never friendly across the airlines Planes old inside not renewd .. this is not an issue The issue is the poor service

Wonderful Premium Economy experience. Felt as good as Business Class for food and entertainment. Comfortable sleeping too

We loved flying with Emirates in business class, the staff were fabulous, going above & beyond

Delayed and missed connecting flight. But Emirates took care until next day flight. Thank you

They cancelled our flight, rebooked, cancelled that one. We are now flying New Zealand Air and need a refund please. How do we get it?

The seating is spaced out nicely, The crew could have offer more drinks.

Nice airline. I was in a really weird seat which had extra leg room, but no basket or stowage. And the people next to me were pretty noisy during the flight, so it was hard to rest. I wish staff came around to pick up trash more often as I had no where to put it except my lap or the floor.

You are the best, keep up the good work. Thank you for allowing me and my family to fly with comfort.i am waiting for upgrade some day. Thanks again

Plane was good Crew was good Food was just ok Could have had more entertainment options But overall good

All good. Over four hours flight if provided snacks like Qatar Airways would be better

It never happened. Me flight from Doha to São Paulo was lated and the time of waiting for the luggage arrives when we arrived in São Paulo was about 1 hour and half. So it took a lot of time just waiting the luggage of flight that was already late, consequently we lost the flight to Recife with Latam Airlines and had to go to the Qatar office to arrange another flight to us to Recife, that one with Azul Airlines. It was more 4 hours waiting to this other flight to knows that this other flight was delayed too, total of 5 hours more at the airport to waiting to go home :/

I felt that when I was rerouted it should have been to business class.

Terrible experience resolving missed connection after flight was delayed. 3 hour queue at transit desk, not enough staff, no organisation, worst ever flying experience.

Liked some flight attendants. 1 was rude I'll not say her name I don't want to get her jn trouble on my flight back to Dallas from Doha. Very rude to some races of people clearly. She needs a better attitude and bedside manners. Asking her questions and she responds "WHAT" twice rudely like I was bothering her and "is it going to be cranberry or mango juice with an attitude".

This trip was the most comfortable one I have ever experienced, the team was excellent and very helpful. I am so glad I picked Qatar Airways.

The space was tight, hardly any leg room and the crew surprisingly were busy and did not take the time to attend to passengers, felt rushed. There was a delay for check in since the systems were down the airport staffs were accommodating

The crew on this flight provided exceptional business class service to me.

You charged me for luggage although the airline does not- you charged me for seat when customers can pick their own seat at checkout in I travel to Europe slot and I will not use kayak again

Everything about that day was great I was happy with how things went as a first time traveling with the airline thank you for all that you’ve doing by taking us there to our various destinations thanks.

Nothing luxury about Turkish airline compared to many other airlines

Requested food options were always finished. Supplied food items were good but of course not the desired choices.

Seats too much and for the price we paid eve thought economy we still had to pay $169 to check a ba that’s ridiculous and also my daughter needed water so she can take her medicine we push the boton for the attendant to get us water they never came we push it 3 times no one came and ask what we needed . Am not happy with the service at all I will not fly with TK anymore

So boarding is a little slow when you fly 787 but on the 777 the business class had its own entrance. The entertainment can be a little bit more up to date Other than that it was a great experience food and service was great

As a big guy the seats are way too small for me. Would prefer more comfortable seats on these long haul flights.

Very bad this airline changes my schedule date of travel and get me stranded in Istanbul for three days, paid for only one day hotel accommodation with only one breakfast and i had to pay for lunches ,and dinners and hotel accommodations for the two and half days

On the Boeing 777-300 aircraft there is no personalized climate control for passengers. Every time I've ever flown on this type of airplane I've been uncomfortably warm. For shorter flights (less than 5 hours) this isn't a big deal, but on longer flights where a nap is required to stay comfortable it turns into a nightmare. I love turkish airlines, but I really fo hope they upgrade their fleet. I've flown turkish air once on a newer model and had a fantastic time, so I think its the plane more than the airline.

The onboarding was extremely confusing. Had to climb the stairs to plan from tarmac with carryon bags in hand. No apologies for inconvenience. Overall not quite pleasant experience.

Boarding /lounge :Chaotic boarding , business /first class had a dedicated line but it was upto to the passenger to figure out and use those lines .Oasis lounge is clean but tiny so it felt over crowded . Neither the food nor amenities felt business/first class . Cabin and tech : 2-2-2 configuration needs to go . Leg space is cramped , headsets didn’t work . WIFI does exist or didn’t work on the entire 20 hour journey . Food and crew : Preordered “Hindu Non vegetarian” meal , crew was clueless , they didn’t even bother to ask if they weren’t sure what that meant . Served mediocre vegetarian food though menu had chicken /lamb options . In short , worst business class experience of all the airlines I flew to date . Not sure if there is one area they compete in let alone excel … avoid if you can .

Food was not available in the middle of the trip that is 13 hours

Everything was good and no points to complain. Food is always a tricky concept. Sometimes you like it and sometimes you don’t. Food was redundant from Kuwait City to NY-JFK.

Beautiful Flight took off on time and everything was good

Next time im going to use Kuwait air lines, hopefully

Comfortable seats. Be aware there is no alcohol on this airline.

Seats were comfortable. Be aware there is no alcohol on this airline.

Every thing was very food except the meal. It was a sandwich of something like a beef kebab. It was really bad in terms of hardness as well as taste. We were a family of 7 persons non of us could eat it his sandwich. Cake was good.

It was very nice flight only suggestions to upload recent videos and English subtitles. Thanks

Unnecessary delays & Gate changes, so much inconvenience after 15-16 hours flight

Aircraft condition poor, no inflight entertainment, broken seats, seats worn, split armrests, flat seat cushions and seat would recline. Aircraft needs refitting completely!

Food, choice of menu and quantity were poor. Crew services were even poorer, not attending call bittons

Several seats in business class were broken. Some would not recline, others had other problems. They need to really update the seats and AV.

Bad seats. Broken entertainment system. Charging port not working. Seats were broken worn out. Crew was amazing. They helped as much as they could.

Flight crew was lovely. Bathrooms should have been cleaner. The handsets in business class for watching the entertainment are horrible. Very difficult to figure out which buttons are for what. I managed to get the flight maps on my screen but it wasn't easy. Never got anything else up.

Inflight Services are poor compared to other airlines. They do not offer even water during 15 hr flight. Food is little in portion and I had food poisoning after last meal ( rajma chawal)

The trip with Air India was better than expected starting with the check-in and the Lounge. The flight was comfortable for a 1 hour flight.

What a pathetic plane it was. Entertainment system didn’t work. USB port was broken. There was a hole on top of folding serving table. Broken restrooms in the middle of flight.

Our seat monitor did not Not work either way going to Vietnam. I had a bulkhead seat with plenty of room, but with No monitor, it was a long flight with no movies. Fun was good, staff was Excellent.
