Your guide to booking Kathmandu flights

From booking to airport arrival, find tips to help you plan your flight with more confidence.
  • For the best chance at a low fare to Kathmandu, aim to book around 26 weeks before you fly. That window historically saves about 16% versus last-minute pricing based on KAYAK booking data over the last 12 months.
  • For flights to Kathmandu, recent KAYAK data shows that stronger deals tend to land around $1,153 round-trip. If you see a fare below that threshold, it's a strong deal – book before the price climbs back up.
  • If you can choose when to go, time your trip to Kathmandu around February. Round-trip fares historically average $1,178 that month – typically the cheapest month to travel based on the last 12 months.
  • Before you book:

    • Check the route's typical price range so you can spot a deal.
    • Confirm baggage fees and seat-selection costs on budget carriers.
    • Verify whether you need any travel documents beyond ID.
    • Pick a departure airport, since your nearest may not be the cheapest origin.
  • Shift your departure to evening to save up to $169 per round-trip. Evening flights to Kathmandu average $1,396 compared to $1,565 for afternoon flights. See the time-of-day chart above for the full breakdown.
  • Once you arrive in Kathmandu, a great place to start is Garden of Dreams. It is popular with first-time visitors and can give you a good feel for the area.
  • Interested in receiving more information about the local region once your flight to Kathmandu lands? Make sure to pay a visit to the Nepal Tourism Board Information Counter located in the Arrivals terminal of Tribhuvan International Airport. The employees at this counter can help you to book a hotel and pick which attractions you would like to see.
  • Hoping to have a particularly relaxing travel experience? Purchase an access pass for Tribhuvan International Airport’s CIP Lounge that is located in the Departures wing. This lounge will provide you access to comfortable chairs, high-speed WiFi, and complimentary snacks, making it a popular place to wait for a flight.

  • If you need to call to your hotel or another local number after your flight to Kathmandu lands, keep your eyes open for the free local phones that are located throughout the different terminals of Tribhuvan International Airport. Using one of these phones is a great option for travelers that do not have phone service in Nepal.
