Price calculated. Change the date or destination if you like.
A private transfer from Kathmandu Airport (KTM) to Kathmandu costs €25 per car for 1–3 passengers and €35 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 9 km; the drive takes about 10 min with clear roads, so plan on 10–20 min at busy times.
Where the driver waits: The driver waits in the new arrival area of the International Terminal, the public greeting area just outside the arrival hall after customs, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.
Thamel is the traveller quarter of Kathmandu, a grid of narrow lanes packed with guesthouses, trekking-gear shops, bookshops and restaurants on the north side of the old city. The airport lies on the eastern edge of Kathmandu, and the drive to Thamel is about 6 km. Cars leave the airport through Gaushala near the Pashupatinath temple area and cross the city westwards through Battisputali and Dillibazar or along Kamaladi, reaching Thamel via Durbar Marg or Lazimpat. Rush-hour traffic on these central roads is slow.
The historic centre lies a short walk south of Thamel: Kathmandu Durbar Square with the old royal palace of Hanuman Dhoka, the Basantapur square and the market streets of Asan and Indra Chowk. Durbar Marg, with airline offices and hotels, leads to the Narayanhiti Palace Museum, and the Garden of Dreams sits at the edge of Thamel. Many lanes in Thamel are narrow and crowded, so cars stop at the nearest accessible point to a guesthouse, and the last few metres are often on foot.
Public transport: The airport's own pages list no direct public transport to Thamel: they only mention free shuttle buses that link the international and domestic terminals and the city bus stop, from where city buses continue towards the centre; no official route.
