Getting from Kathmandu airport to the city center

Kathmandu is served by Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM), Nepal's only international airport, located approximately 6 km east of the city center. Despite the short distance, airport transfers to city center destinations can take 20 to 60 minutes depending on traffic conditions, which are notoriously congested in the Kathmandu Valley. Transport options include prepaid taxis, metered taxis, hotel shuttles, ride-hailing services, local buses, and private transfers. The airport has a dedicated prepaid taxi counter inside the arrivals hall, which is the recommended option for first-time visitors.

Notes:

  • Prices in NPR; table created in 2025 and subject to change.
  • Kathmandu traffic is highly unpredictable; allow extra time during rush hours (8–10 AM, 4–7 PM).
  • Prepaid taxi counters are located inside the arrivals hall; pay before exiting to avoid haggling.
  • Ride-hailing apps require local SIM or WiFi; drivers may have limited English.
  • Local buses depart from the main road outside the airport; not recommended with heavy luggage.
  • We recommend checking official transport websites for your travel planning.
