FAQs - booking Nepal flights

  • Which airport in Nepal is suitable for tourists?

    If you visit Nepal on tour, consider flying to Pokhara Airport (PKR), in Gandaki Province. The airport’s strategic location makes it an important gateway for many, from tourists visiting the Annapurna region and various sites like Phewa Lake to pilgrims travelling to Jomsom, Muktinath and other famous religious sites.

  • Is there an airport in Nepal serving as an airline hub?

    Kathmandu Airport is the only airport in Nepal that serves as an airline hub. The airport is the primary hub for Nepal’s flag carrier, Nepal Airlines. It also serves as a hub for several other airlines, such as Guna Airlines, Shree Airlines, Yeti Airlines and Tara Air. You can easily connect to other destinations from Kathmandu Airport, including Nepalgunj, Bhadrapur and Rajbiraj.

  • Which airport in Nepal can I fly to with a pet?

    Kathmandu Airport is the only airport allowing pets entry into Nepal. Two dogs or cats can enter the airport as air cargo, checked luggage or in the cabin. Since flights to Nepal from Australia have stopovers, avoid the India route, as the country does not permit non-residents to fly in with pets. Consider using Qantas and Virgin Airlines; they allow pets to fly in the cargo area.

  • Which airport in Nepal offers public transport services?

    If you want to use public transport from an airport in Nepal, consider flying into Kathmandu Airport; it offers bus services to various destinations within Kathmandu and the surrounding areas. The buses are budget-friendly but have stops along the way, resulting in a longer travel duration. Taxis, with negotiable fares, and shuttle services are also available outside the airport terminal.

  • Do I need a visa to travel to Nepal?

    For those that are Australian citizens or passport holders, you can either apply for a tourist visa for Nepal at an embassy before your trip, or at the airport once you have arrived. Most tourist visas will only let you stay in the country for a maximum of 90 days, and their prices vary depending on their duration.

  • I would like to visit Mount Everest during my trip. Which airport should I fly into?

    If one of the reasons that you are travelling to Nepal is to see Mount Everest, it is best to fly into Tenzing-Hillary Airport (LUA). There is no public transportation that connects the airport with the mountain’s base camps, so you will have to make the trek on foot if you plan on hiking. Alternatively, it is possible to fly into Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM), from which you can grab a helicopter tour of the mountain.

  • If I would like to visit Chitwan National Park, what is the best airport for me to arrive at?

    Bharatpur Airport (BHR) is the closest destination to Chitwan National Park and is just a 40 to 50min drive away. If you opt to fly into Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) instead, you can go to the park via a tourist bus, which will take anywhere from 5 to 7h.

  • What is the best airport to fly into for those visiting the Bageshwari Temple?

    When visiting the Bageshwari Temple, the closest destination is Nepalgunj Airport (KEP). It is possible to drive between the two locations, which takes around 35min, or you can opt to grab a local train, which will take you several hours.

  • How long is the flight to Nepal?

    An average direct flight from Australia to Nepal takes 25h 08m, covering a distance of 14784 km. The most popular route is Sydney - Kathmandu with an average flight time of 15h 00m.

  • What is the cheapest flight to Nepal?

    The cheapest ticket to Nepal from Australia found in the last 72 hours was $793. The most popular route is from Sydney to Kathmandu and the cheapest round-trip airline ticket found on this route in the last 72 hours was $960.

  • What is the most popular destination in Nepal?

    Based on KAYAK flight searches, the most popular destination is Kathmandu (100% of total searches to Nepal).

  • How does KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a given destination and date is likely to change within 7 days, so travellers know whether to wait or book now.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Nepal

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Nepal flight deals.
  • The main Australian airports offering flights to Nepal are Melbourne Airport (MEL), Sydney Airport (SYD) and Brisbane Airport (BNE). Consider flying from Sydney, which tends to have the most flights to Nepal.
  • If you are heading to the eastern side of Nepal, consider flying into Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM). You can then take a domestic flight to Biratnagar Airport (BIR). It’s a major gateway to eastern Nepal and a focus city for Buddha Air and Nepal Airlines, offering daily flights to and from Kathmandu Airport.
  • Due to the extensive distance between the two locations, flights to Nepal from Australia will almost always have a stopover. Some of the most convenient cities for travellers to stop in include Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, and Guangzhou.
  • Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) is known for being the country’s only international airport and can be found in the centre of Nepal, making it a practical destination for those that would like to explore cities such as Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur, and Budhanilkantha. Keep in mind that you will first have to arrive at this airport before travelling to any other domestic locations.
  • To visit the southern region of the country, consider flying into Simara Airport (SIF). A small destination that only services flights through Buddha Airlines, Simara Airport is conveniently located near the cities of Birgunj and Jitpur Simara.
  • For those that would like to explore the western region of Nepal, it is possible to arrive at Surkhet Airport (SKH). From there, you will be within easy driving distance of cities like Jumla, Mugu, and Kalikot. Additionally, you will be close to the scenic rivers of Bheri and Bulbule Taal, as well as several skiing areas in the Himalayas.
  • If you plan on visiting Nepal for the purpose of exploring its green spaces and nature, consider flying into Bajura Airport (BJU), as this destination is close to hiking and bird watching areas in the Himalayan ranges, as well as additional tourist attractions, like the Jiulekmandu temple.

Good flight. Fiod was ready a bit late hence a hurry to finish before landing. Excellent crew and service

Good flight. The food was served a bit late, hence a hurry to finish before landing. Excellent crew and service

Great to have actual hot tastey meal on a flight. Well done

It was a great flight Food was great Crew was spectacular

In general good, but the machine seems to be long in operation and some functions were restricted as e. g. Adjusting of seats.

Seating cramped; close to toilet, foul smelling and noisy, very unhygienic and disease risk Free and paid Wi-Fi NOT accessible at all - misleading advertising Very expensive sunglasses disappeared from back seat pouch. Coffee disgusting and cold

When boarding, after business class should be premium economy, but economy class already lined-up at the gate blocking premium economy to board. Singapore airline crew should done a better job to organize this chaos :( Thank you.

Wonderful service, planes and interior in great condition, very pleasant experience

Flying with Singapore airlines is always excelllent - the crew are lovely and the food too is great. It’s my number 1 airline

They close their counter so early. I had internet issues so I couldn’t check In online . I would have made the flight but their counter was closed 5 minutes before we arrived. No way of contacting them even though I had the confirmation number and tried to check in the night before on someone else’s phone. I tried calling their customer service with no pick up. Horrible experience, I’m very unhappy with them. I hope to never fly with them ever again. It costed me almost $900.

Wuhan - Dubai. Old plane: 1. Only USB charger. No power outlet to plug in.. 2. Super narrow seat layout 3. Toilet cover consistently fell down and hit my back when sitting on it.. :( 4. Entertainment system touch screen not sensitive, and need to press hard or use finger tips to hit. Crew were very nice and accommodating though.

No red vine, no whiskey, no vodka. No that I wanted all of them at once but still...

During flight, some passengers perform stomping leg exercises which disturb the comfort (I.e. sleep) of other passengers.

No good but was short flight. Both of our China Southern flights were on time. No surprises.

The food was perfect. The boarding process is a bit long. Given the late boarding time, I felt very tired by the time I was seated.

Traveling with the Chinese airlines , their service superior to the US Airlines , they are much more friendly and the seats are comfortable , In the past I flew with United , now ,United Airline will become history for me .

Pros: "Yes, seats were very comfortable and crew members were extremely helpful"
Cons: "Everything was excellent."
Pros: "see SH to GZ prior flight. The same."
Cons: "Same problems. Get KFC or McDonalds to cater. No one enjoys the airline's food which I suspect is prepared on a very small budget. Even a sandwich with a pre-packaged drink would elevate the foodservice."
Pros: "No..no redeeming features.."
Cons: "Coffee was the worst I've ever had. The 2+1 powdered mil and coffee stick. Truly awful. But i suppose there aren't many people on the flight who would order coffee..I would even pay extra for a coffee if they had a quality option. Food is comparable to a school canteen. I would probably pay 20rmb for this in Shanghai. Frozen butter for the half-frozen bread. They really couldn't do worse..."
Cons: "Cancellation of Shenyang-Guangzhou flight on the same day was not notified in advance. I had to postpone the trip. I hope that this situation will be notified by phone next time. No matter what country's phone number is"

chaos boarding. Crew in business class seemed short staffed and lacking in attention to details initially, but did improve during flight.

The cabin was quite noisy as there were lots of children travelling for the school holidays. Found the selection of movies limited.

Delayed, not enough information. Had to ask for refreshments, crew could have been more proactive

The best so far coz this time it was all male steward on the economy cluster. They were polite, efficient & genuinely courteous. They do not judge you when you ask for more food & peanuts.

Delayed for 45 minutes. Don't know what's the issue. Other than that, food was not to my satisfaction. However it's okay.

My first course flight (Aor-Kul) was cancelled in the morning, and they asked me to board the night flight hence I need to transit overnight for the 2nd flight (Kul-Myy) that supposed to be on the same day. The overnight stay was not provided, (I'm traveling with my spouse, a daughter (5 y.o.) and an infant (2 months old). Hence I booked Sama Sama Hotel at my own expense (fortunately using my enrich miles points). Other than this issue, all services is good.

My experience with the flight was okay. My experience checking in was absolutely terrible. I was told I needed to change my e-ticket number to check in because I missed my flight in PDX. Even when shown the itinerary, they didn't budge and sent me to KLM across the airport. KLM wasn't open until 8pm and my flight was at 7:30pm. Nobody made accommodations in any way to get me to KUL. To add insult to injury, they rescheduled my flight to the very next day, creating a very long layover and did not offer any hotel stay. After this, even worse, I found out later they delayed the first 7:30pm flight to 9:10pm. Meaning, I could have still boarded but they refused to even try to get me on the plane. As a result, I missed a day of work and lost pay for the day. Also, when I went to get my luggage, it wasn't there. It was STILL in Singapore. They had from 5:30pm to 5am to get my luggage onto the plane and they still couldn't get that right. This is the worst experience I've had flying anywhere in the past decade I've been travelling.

Orange juice change to mineral water . Should keep the orange juice.

Entertainment system was too old, crew were unorganised during boarding

No recognition for one World Emerald member. Business class seat has flat bed

Pros: "Economy seats were actually pretty comfortable and the staff was very attentive."
Cons: "The vegetarian food was basically unsalted, watery rice and fruit. By the third round of it (long flight w/ 2 dinners and 1 breakfast) I just didn’t eat it. The entertainment also advertises movies and shows that they don’t have. Small selection that could be better."
Pros: "I liked getting to my destination safely."
Cons: "The boarding process was chaos and when we finally boarded, the seats were extremely uncomfortable. There also wasn’t any choice of entertainment and the movie that was playing had no way to have audio (no headphone jacks to plug into)"
Cons: "The flight was delayed for hours, ridiculous. Do better. No excuses."
Pros: "cabin crew continued to smile despite conditions"
Cons: "the stewardess were filling themoses if hot water instead if pre flight duties. even after pushing away from gate i could see 8 passengers with trays down making soup with boiling water, brought by stewardess, and additional ones eating hot soup."
Pros: "Not much, but the crew were friendly"
Cons: "The airline was late in take off for some unknown reason (nothing to do with weather). Flight too be late and we missed out connecting flight.They demanded we purchase a new ticket for the next leg of the flight. Furthermore, then they cancelled the rest of the return flight. Terrible Airline"
Cons: "on august 14,i got an email tell me my airline is china eastern airline. i have waited for chech -in in china eastern airline for 30minutes,the china eastern told me my airline is not china eastern .maybe hainan airline i walked to hainan airline ,it told me it is not their airline....."
Pros: "NA"
Cons: "The hyphen in first name separated name into first and middle. We canceled flight because airline wanted to charge for correcting the name that their system won’t take."
Pros: "New plane. And now online check-in is now available"
Cons: "Looks like they missed a snack in between."
Pros: "new airplane"
Cons: "wish they had online check-in service in Los Angeles."
Pros: "The crew was very frindly. Tha craft is very clean"
Cons: "Food for non-Chinese passengers"

Nasi lemak was horrible. Plain white rice, tasteless sambal, no cucumber, no kacang, no ikan bilis. And the chicken was colourless and tasteless, tasted like boiled chicken. Entertainment system didn't work at all.

2 delayed flights - hotel layover in a different country- lost baggage.

Silly to not even offer people water for free when they are paying so much for tickets.

You get what you pay for. It’s functional and gets you from point A to B in good comfort. However, food options are limited and cash only, Crew is a hit and miss .. they get your attention if you reach out.

Good leg room ... air conditioning was a bit warm don't Book row 8 ... no windows

They got to the terminal late, with no one on the arriving flight, boarded us late, and left us sitting there for 2 hours before they got us off the ground. They knew they were going to be late, yet they never got an updated flight plan from their head office until long after the flight was supposed to leave. They could have cut the delay in half, of at least let us stay in the terminal. Really just horrible planning.

The worst kind of budget airline. To be honest....the plane was not that bad. Would have been good to have some food choices and some water. What was by far the worse is the passengers/customers that this airline attracts. Coughing and spluttering all over one another with no masks. Just disgusting. Pay for a better carrier and get a better class of passenger.
