Tribhuvan Airport Transfers & Kathmandu Airport Taxi (2026)

Pre-book a fixed-price private ride from Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) to your hotel — your driver tracks your flight and waits at arrivals with your name.

How Your Airport Pickup Works

From landing to your hotel

  1. Book online with your flight number, arrival time and hotel.
  2. We track your flight — if it’s early or late, your driver adjusts.
  3. Clear immigration and collect your bags (see our Kathmandu airport arrival guide for visa, ATM and SIM tips).
  4. Meet your driver outside the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name.
  5. Ride straight to your hotel — no queues, no haggling.

Kathmandu Airport Taxi Price vs Pre-Booked Transfer

Which is better?

  • Airport taxi counter / street taxi: available on arrival, but you may queue and need to agree the fare.
  • Pre-booked transfer: fixed price agreed in advance, a driver waiting even if your flight is late, and help with luggage — ideal at night or after a long flight.
  • Ride apps: possible if you already have local data, but pickup points at the airport can be confusing.

Book your return trip at the same time and save 10%.

Journey Times from Tribhuvan Airport

Typical drive times

  • Thamel: about 30 minutes (6–7 km)
  • Boudha: 15–20 minutes
  • Patan: 30–40 minutes
  • Bhaktapur: around 45 minutes
  • Nagarkot: 1–1.5 hours

Domestic Terminal Transfers

For Lukla, Pokhara and mountain flights

Domestic flights to Lukla, Pokhara and Everest mountain flights leave from the domestic terminal next to the international one, usually very early in the morning. Book an early transfer so you arrive in time for check-in, and a pickup for your return. For all transfer options, see airport transfers in Nepal.

Really smooth experience with Axui in Kathmandu. The driver arrived on time, the car was clean, and the whole ride felt safe and comfortable. Booking was also very easy.

Used Axui for a few rides around Kathmandu and was impressed with the service. The driver was polite, knew the roads well, and got us to our destination without any hassle. Great option for getting around the city.

Axui made getting around Kathmandu much easier for us. The pickup was straightforward, the driver was professional, and the vehicle was comfortable. A reliable service that I would recommend to other travellers visiting Nepal.
