Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) is Kathmandu’s main international gateway and typically functions as Nepal’s primary hub for both international and domestic connections. Expect a mix of full-service carriers and regional/budget airlines operating frequent flights, with fares that can be relatively higher for international routes and competitive for domestic sectors. The airport sits about 6–8 km from central Kathmandu; travel to the city center usually takes 20–40 minutes by taxi or private car depending on traffic, with fares often ranging from modest flat rates to slightly higher negotiated amounts for airport pickups. There is limited public transport—shared jeeps or local buses can be cheaper but less predictable—while taxis and ride-hailing offer the most convenience. Pros: compact layout and proximity to downtown make transfers quick; cons: congestion, basic facilities compared with larger hubs, and occasional delays due to terrain and weather.
Fly direct from Kathmandu to Varanasi for the fastest, most convenient way to reach this spiritual hub—less transit stress means more time to explore ghats and temples. While connecting options can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop route saves hours and offers a more comfortable, straightforward journey.
Varanasi is served by Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport (VNS), a compact international gateway that typically handles a mix of domestic flights and a limited number of international services. Carriers are usually Indian full‑service and low‑cost airlines, with occasional regional or Gulf connections, so fares can be moderate to budget‑friendly depending on season. The airport lies about 26 km northwest of the city center; road transfers by taxi or app cab generally take 30–60 minutes depending on traffic, with fares usually ranged in local-currency terms for typical metered rides. There are also prepaid airport taxis and private car hires, while public buses connect to the city at lower cost but with longer journey times. Pros: convenient for quick access to Varanasi and Sarnath, compact terminals and relatively short queues off-peak. Cons: limited international options and fewer on‑site amenities compared with larger hubs, and travel times can increase during peak traffic.
