Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) in Kathmandu is Nepal’s main international gateway and typically functions as a compact hub handling a mix of full-service carriers, regional airlines, and low-cost operators. Located about 6–8 km from central Thamel and the business district, travel times to downtown are usually 20–40 minutes depending on traffic; taxis and ride-hailing are common (fares can typically be modest but vary), while private transfers and hotel shuttles are also widely used. The airport is convenient for quick access to the city and connecting domestic flights to mountain gateways, but facilities can be crowded and security lines or delays may be experienced during peak seasons. Overall it’s the most practical choice for international arrivals, offering straightforward connections to Nepal’s domestic network.
