Nepals international airport is located around 5km (3 miles) east of the city centre. Flights run from Kathmandu to India, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, China, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and the Persian Gulf. Most flights to Europe involve a change in the Middle East.

Airport facilities: These include bureaux de change, tourist information desk, hotel reservation desk, post office, Internet centre, gift shop, cafe and duty-free shops.

Transport to the city centre: For a fixed price taxi ride to the centre, book your trip at the Airport Queue Taxi Service desk; you will receive a coupon to present to the driver. Buses run from just outside the airport to central Kathmandu, Ratna Park and the Old Bus Park but there is little space for luggage and routes are confusing.
