The Palungtar Airport (VNGK (GKH)) in Gorkha, Nepal, is currently out of operation for commercial flights and has been for several decades. Scheduled services ceased around 1979, largely due to the development of road connectivity through the Prithvi Highway. Consequently, there are no recent traveler reviews or experiences available regarding its facilities, amenities, security, or transportation connections in the context of active passenger travel.
The airport, which originally opened in October 1960, formerly served as a gateway to Gorkha. Although not operational for commercial purposes, it did serve as a major landing site for helicopters distributing relief materials after the Gorkha earthquake in 2015. It features a grass/clay runway that is 1,067 meters (3,501 ft) in length.
Due to its non-operational status for passenger flights, information regarding traveler sentiment, terminal facilities, cleanliness, security wait times, customs/immigration experience, or dedicated transportation and parking for travelers is not applicable or available. Travelers should be aware that Palungtar Airport does not offer any services for commercial air travel.
