Cheap Flights from Kathmandu to Almaty Starting at $252

Kathmandu’s main gateway is Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM), Nepal’s primary international hub handling most scheduled carriers and regional flights; it can feel busy and basic compared with larger global airports. Domestic services often use smaller domestic terminals or nearby domestic airports for hill destinations, operated largely by Nepali and regional low-cost carriers. KTM sits about 4–6 km from central Thamel and the downtown area; travel times are typically 20–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with fares usually modest but variable, and local buses or shared jeeps offering cheaper, slower alternatives. Pros: convenient central location and frequent services; cons: limited facilities, occasional delays, and congested access during peak hours.
