Most visitors travelling to Kathmandu for the first time arrive by air. The Kathmandu International Airport will be their entry point. Daily bus services to and from the Indian border towns are available. Charter buses are also available from the major Indian cities, but you must book a seat in advance.

The Tribhuvan Airport is serviced by many International Airlines. The Royal Nepalese Airlines connects Kathmandu to many neighbouring countries. Because of the High Mountains surrounding the airport night landing is not normally scheduled.

On arrival, taxis are available outside the airport terminal. A hotel transfer vehicle may also be available but check out the fare before boarding it.

For flight details contact your local Travel Agent.

There are several daily air services and charters to other Nepalese Cities and out posts. Notably the ever-popular early morning "Mountain Flight" which takes tourists on a jaunt over the highest mountains in the world.

One of the reasons visitors come to Nepal is to view the Himalayan Mountain Range. Any method of travel you choose will give you the opportunity to catch a glimpse of this thrilling sight.
