Online Reviews Summary

Traveler reviews and experiences for Silgadi Doti Airport (VNDT (SIH)) are extremely limited, with no recent direct traveler feedback readily available to assess overall sentiment or satisfaction. Information primarily consists of operational details and estimated wait times.

What Travelers Love
  • Relatively Low Security and Immigration Wait Times: Estimated wait times are generally short, with check-in around 15 minutes, security checkpoint at 11 minutes, and immigration at 9 minutes (as of late 2025).
  • Recently Upgraded Runway: The airport's runway was blacktopped and upgraded in 2020, indicating recent investment in its operational infrastructure. Scheduled flights to Dhangadhi commenced in 2022.
Common Complaints
  • Limited On-Site Airport Amenities: There are no refueling facilities directly at the airport. While services like hotels, restaurants, and banks/ATMs are available, they are located in the city area rather than within the airport terminal itself, suggesting minimal on-site passenger facilities.
  • Scarcity of Direct Traveler Reviews: There is a notable absence of specific, recent traveler reviews or feedback regarding terminal cleanliness, staff helpfulness, or overall passenger experience for Silgadi Doti Airport.
  • Limited Direct Transportation Options: While local transport like vans and tempos are available, detailed, organized direct shuttle services from the airport are not prominently mentioned. Longer journeys to the airport from major cities like Kathmandu often involve multi-modal travel, including flights to other airports followed by taxis.

Due to the lack of direct traveler reviews, a comprehensive summary of traveler sentiment is not possible. Silgadi Doti appears to be a basic, functional domestic airport with limited amenities, serving its primary purpose of regional connectivity.

Taxis

Taxis and private jeeps are the most common form of transportation available at the airport, typically waiting for arriving flights. Fares are not metered, so it is crucial to negotiate and agree on the price with the driver before your trip to Silgadhi town or other local destinations.

Rental Cars

Standard self-drive car rental companies do not operate at Silgadi Doti Airport. The primary option for a private vehicle is to hire a car or jeep with a local driver. This can be arranged by negotiating with drivers at the airport upon arrival or in advance through a local hotel or travel service.

Public Transportation

There are no formal public bus or transit lines that directly serve the airport terminal. To use public transport, passengers must walk a short distance to the main road to catch local buses or shared jeeps, which connect to Silgadhi and other villages in the district. These services run frequently but do not operate on a fixed schedule.
