Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) in Kathmandu is Nepal’s main international gateway and typically functions as the country’s busiest hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and regional low-cost airlines. It’s located about 6–7 km east of Thamel/central Kathmandu, with road transfer times usually around 20–40 minutes depending on traffic; taxis and ride-hailing services are common (fares can vary), while airport shuttles and private transfers are also available. Expect basic but improving facilities and often crowded terminals at peak times, which can affect comfort and processing speed. The airport’s convenience for central Kathmandu is a major plus, though limited infrastructure and occasional congestion are downsides to plan for.
Kuala Lumpur is served primarily by Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and the closer Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah (Subang) Airport. KLIA (KUL) is Malaysia’s main international hub for full-service carriers and long-haul flights, while nearby KLIA2 handles many low-cost carriers and budget routes. The airports sit roughly 45–60 km from the city center depending on terminals; travel by express train typically takes about 28–40 minutes from KL Sentral to KLIA with fares usually in the mid-range for rail, while buses and taxis can take 45–75 minutes depending on traffic with metered or fixed taxi fares. KLIA offers wider amenities and smoother international connections, whereas KLIA2 and Subang can be cheaper and more convenient for regional or low-cost travel, albeit sometimes busier and less spacious.
