Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Taxis

Taxis are the most common and convenient way to travel from the airport. You can find them readily available outside the arrival terminal. For a hassle-free experience with a fixed, government-approved rate, it is highly recommended to use the prepaid taxi service counter located inside the terminal building. Taxis can take you directly to Bhairahawa city, Lumbini, or other nearby destinations.

Rental Cars

Car rental services are available, though they are typically operated by local travel and tour companies rather than major international brands. It is best to arrange a rental car in advance. Most car rentals in the region come with a driver included; self-drive options are less common and may require specific permits. Your pre-booked driver will meet you at the arrivals hall.

Public Transportation

Public transportation is the most budget-friendly option but is less convenient for travelers with luggage. There are no direct bus routes from the terminal itself. You would need to walk a short distance to the main road (Siddhartha Highway) to catch local buses or microbuses. These services connect to Bhairahawa bus park, from where you can get onward transport to Lumbini and other cities. Auto-rickshaws are also available on the main road for shorter distances.
