How do I get to and from Tribhuvan International Airport?

Tribhuvan International Airport is accessed by road from central Kathmandu by taxis and app-based ride services, which are the most common option for visitors. Local buses and shared microbuses serve nearby neighborhoods but are less convenient with luggage. Car rental is available in the city; parking at the airport is limited. Many travelers use pre-arranged hotel transfers or private cars for arrival and departure transfers.

How do the terminals work at Tribhuvan International Airport?

The airport has a single main passenger terminal handling both domestic and international flights, with separate areas for arrivals and departures. Check-in desks are organized by airline; international passengers clear immigration and customs on arrival. Domestic transfer procedures are generally straightforward but allow extra time to move between check-in and security. Follow airport signage and airline announcements for gate and boarding changes.

Tips for flying from Tribhuvan International Airport

Allow extra time for travel to and from the airport due to Kathmandu traffic and variable road conditions. Carry travel documents and a printed copy of your itinerary for immigration. Security screening can be busy, so arrive earlier than typical international recommendations during peak periods. Be prepared for limited transit amenities and variable weather impacts on flight schedules; confirm connections with your airline before travel.
