  • When you get to KTM, chances are that you will be exhausted because of the journey and the jetlag that comes with it. While there are no onsite hotels in the airport, there are several within walking distance. They include Hotel Marinha, Summit Residency, and Kathmandu Airport hotel.
  • If you wish to convert your currency from USD to rupees once you get to KTM, you can do so at the currency exchange counters in the Arrivals lounge of the full-service banking branch at the Departures lounge.
