By Air (International):
International journeys into Kathmandu typically arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport. Direct flights from outside the Asian continent are uncommon, often requiring a stopover in major hubs such as Delhi or Dubai. Airlines like Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Air India offer services to Kathmandu. One-way airfares can start from approximately $61, with round-trip tickets beginning around $142, although prices fluctuate significantly based on origin and booking time. From Delhi, a flight to Kathmandu takes about one hour. Upon arrival at TIA, one can opt for a prepaid taxi inside the arrival hall, with fares typically ranging from $7 to $8 depending on the time of day, or seek a metered taxi outside for potentially lower fares through negotiation. Public city buses are also available for transport from the airport.
