Kathmandu’s main gateway, Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM), functions as Nepal’s primary international hub and handles most scheduled foreign and domestic flights; a smaller domestic-only airstrip (e.g., nearby short-haul fields for mountain flights) can also serve regional traffic. KTM is typically served by full-service carriers and regional airlines, while budget options can appear on local routes. The airport sits about 6–8 km from Kathmandu city center, with taxicabs and app-based rides usually taking 20–40 minutes depending on traffic and costing roughly NPR 300–900; shared minibuses and hotel transfers are common alternatives. Pros: direct international connections and straightforward ground links; cons: can be crowded, with limited terminal space and variable punctuality.

The airport sits about 46 km (roughly 45–60 minutes by car depending on traffic) from Irkutsk city center; shuttles, fixed-route minibuses, taxis and private transfers are common—expect fare ranges from modest minibus fees to higher taxi or transfer costs. Pros: relatively modern terminal and direct links to key regional destinations. Cons: ground transfer can be lengthy in winter and services may be limited outside peak seasons.
