Ground Transportation

Taxis

Two main types of taxis are available. Inside the arrivals hall, you can find a pre-paid taxi service desk with fixed, government-approved rates to various destinations, which is a hassle-free option. Alternatively, you can walk outside the terminal to find regular city taxis, where you must negotiate the fare before starting your journey as meters are often not used. Ride-sharing apps like Pathao and inDrive are also widely used and can be a reliable option.

Rental Cars

Car rental at the airport typically means hiring a car with a driver, as self-drive rental services from major international companies are not common. It is highly recommended to pre-book a private vehicle through your hotel or a local travel/tour agency. This ensures a driver will be waiting for you upon arrival, providing a seamless transfer to your destination.

Public Transportation

Public buses are the most budget-friendly option but are not the most convenient. There is no bus stop directly inside the airport terminal. You must walk about 5-10 minutes from the terminal building to the main road (Ring Road) to catch a local bus. Buses can be very crowded and may not be suitable if you have large luggage. Look for the green 'Sajha Yatayat' buses, which are generally larger and more comfortable than the smaller microbuses.

Earthquake 2015 Posted by david on May 3, 2015

This airport is the main entry point for supplies into Nepal after the April 2015 earthquake, since the country is landlocked and there aren't any major land links. Unfortunately, news today (2015-05-03) is that the runway is starting to suffer damage from so many landings over the past week, so they've restricted it to smaller aircraft only.
