Price calculated. Change the date or destination if you like.
Getting from Kathmandu Airport (KTM) to Patan takes about 10 min by car on an empty road (10–20 min in heavy traffic) over 6 km. Our private transfer costs €25 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €35 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.
On arrival: 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. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.
Patan, also called Lalitpur, is the old city south of the Bagmati River, known for its Durbar Square, the Patan Museum in the former royal palace and its many Buddhist courtyards and metal workshops. The drive from the airport is about 6 km: cars head south-west past Tinkune and Baneshwor and cross the Bagmati into Lalitpur, then continue through Kupondole or Pulchowk towards the old town. The bridges over the Bagmati are among the busiest points at rush hour.
Patan Durbar Square is the centre of the old town, with the Krishna Mandir, the royal palace and the Patan Museum, and the Golden Temple a few minutes' walk north. The core lanes are narrow, and cars usually stop at the edge of the square near Mangal Bazaar or Patan Dhoka. Jhamsikhel and Pulchowk, with many cafes and guesthouses, lie to the west, and Jawalakhel with the Central Zoo is a short drive south-west.
Public transport: The airport's own pages list no direct public transport to Patan: 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.
