How to get transferred from Kathmandu Airport to your hotel?

Traveling to Nepal? First stop – Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu!

This is the only international airport in Nepal and where most travelers arrive.

Now, after landing… the first thing you need is a comfortable and easy ride to your hotel or destination. This is called an airport transfer.

Let’s understand everything in simple words.

What is an Airport Transfer?

An airport transfer means a vehicle service that picks you up from the airport and drops you safely at your hotel, home, or any location.

It’s just like a pre-booked taxi or private car—but better and more professional.

Types of Airport Transfers in Nepal

There are mainly three types:

1. Private Car Transfer - Most comfortable.

You get a driver with a clean car just for you.

Best for families, couples, or business travelers.

2. Tourist Bus / Shuttle - Cheaper but shared with other people.

It may take longer to reach your place.

Good if you’re traveling alone and want to save money.

3. Taxi from the Airport - Available outside the terminal.

But price may be high, and the drivers may not speak English.

Not always reliable or clean.

Why Book Airport Transfer in Advance?

  • Booking before you land is safe and easy. Here’s why:
  • No need to bargain with taxi drivers.
  • A driver will wait with your name sign at the airport.
  • You get a fixed price, no hidden charges.
  • Clean, air-conditioned vehicles.
  • Local drivers who know the city well.

How Much Does It Cost?

For most locations inside Kathmandu Valley, like Thamel, Patan, or Boudha, prices start from Rs. 1500 to Rs. 3000, depending on the vehicle.

✅ Price Includes: Fuel, Experienced Driver, Road and Tolls, Parking Charges for Vehicle.

You can also book SUVs, Hiace vans, or Tourist Buses if you're in a group.

This is Nagarkot – the best place to visit for sunrise, just 24 km from Tribhuvan International Airport.
