Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) in Kathmandu is Nepal’s primary international gateway and the country’s busiest airport, handling most long-haul and regional carriers alongside several domestic operators. International airlines and many full-service regional carriers typically operate here, while low-cost and domestic flights use a mix of turboprops and jets. The airport sits about 6–10 km from central Kathmandu, with travel times commonly ranging from 20 to 45 minutes depending on traffic; taxis and app-based ride services are the main options (fares usually vary with time of day), and shared vans or hotel transfers are also common. Pros: direct international connectivity and easy transfer to city hotels; cons: limited terminal capacity, occasional congestion, and variable on-ground comfort compared with larger international hubs.

Pokhara Airport (KTM’s regional partner) is Nepal’s primary gateway to the Lakeside and Annapurna region, serving mainly domestic and regional flights rather than long-haul international routes. Carriers are typically Nepali operators and short-haul regional airlines, with fares that can be relatively affordable but rise seasonally. The airport sits about 4–8 km from central Pokhara, roughly a 15–25 minute drive depending on traffic. Transport options include taxis (metered or negotiated fares), local buses and private transfers; expect fares to range from modest fixed rates for taxis to very low-cost bus tickets. Pros: close to the city, quick transfers to tourist areas and scenic views on approach. Cons: limited facilities and fewer flight choices compared with major international hubs.
