Kathmandu Airport Transfer — Private Pickup or Drop

About this experience

Booked your flight to Nepal? Great. You have your hotel in Kathmandu sorted, but have you thought about how you will get from Tribhuvan International Airport to your hotel?

After a long flight, arriving in a busy and unfamiliar city can be confusing. Instead of looking for a taxi after you land, arrange your private Kathmandu Airport Transfer in advance and know that your driver will be waiting for you.

Your driver will meet you at Tribhuvan International Airport, help with your luggage and take you directly to your hotel in Kathmandu. Whether you are staying in Thamel, Kathmandu city or nearby, the pickup can be arranged around your flight arrival time.
It is a simple option for solo travelers, couples, families and small groups who want to start their Nepal trip without worrying about transportation after landing.

The same service is also available for your journey back to Kathmandu Airport at the end of your trip.
