October and November are the sweet spot for Kathmandu: clear skies, ideal trekking conditions, and the Tihar festival lighting up the city. Avoid the June-to-August monsoon if you want reliable flights and dry streets. February and March offer a quieter, cheaper alternative with rhododendrons in bloom across the valley hills.
| Month | Price Band | Demand | Travel note |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | Mid | Medium | Cool and clear; good visibility for mountain views. |
| February | Budget | Low | Rhododendrons begin blooming; fewer crowds and lower fares. |
| March | Budget | Low | Spring trekking season opens; pleasant temperatures citywide. |
| April | Mid | Medium | Best overall month; warm days and the Nepali New Year festival. |
| May | Mid | Medium | Pre-monsoon heat builds; Everest Base Camp season peaks. |
| June | Budget | Low | Monsoon arrives; expect rain and possible flight disruptions. |
| July | Budget | Low | Heavy rainfall; lush green valley but muddy trekking trails. |
| August | Budget | Low | Monsoon continues; best fares of the year available now. |

Tribhuvan International is Nepal's sole international airport, operating a single runway and two terminals: the international terminal and a smaller domestic terminal adjacent to it. Qatar Airways, IndiGo, Air India, and Himalaya Airlines are among the heaviest users. Arrivals can be slow during busy morning banks, and the visa-on-arrival queue moves faster if you fill out the online form before landing.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|

| App-based taxi (Pathao/InDrive) | NPR 400-600 | 20-35 min to Thamel |

Everything you need to know before booking your Kathmandu flight on Laters.
Several airlines operate nonstop flights to Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM), including Qatar Airways from Doha, Emirates and flydubai from Dubai, IndiGo and Air India from Delhi and Mumbai, AirAsia from Kuala Lumpur, Thai Airways from Bangkok, and Singapore Airlines from Singapore. Availability varies by season, so compare current schedules on Laters.com.
August is typically the cheapest month, with average one-way fares dropping to around USD 180 from regional hubs. This coincides with Nepal's monsoon season, which brings heavy rainfall and some flight disruptions. If you prefer dry weather, February and March offer the next-best fares with far more pleasant conditions.

Singapore Travel Agent LicenceTA04059Flying to Kathmandu rewards the traveller who books early and stays flexible. Fares from Delhi or Singapore are short and relatively cheap; fares from Europe or Australia require a one-stop connection and benefit from booking eight to twelve weeks out. October and November are peak trekking season, so prices climb fast. This is a city for the curious, the budget-conscious, and anyone who wants altitude with their history.
A backpacker budget of roughly USD 17 a day buys guesthouse beds under USD 10 and Thamel dinners under USD 5, which explains the 9 for value. The single runway at Tribhuvan means fog and monsoon delays are routine, so build slack into any onward trekking plans. Visas on arrival run USD 30 for 15 days or USD 50 for 30, cash or card, and the queue moves faster if you fill out the online form before landing. Fly in from Delhi in 1h 30m for around USD 90, or expect a longer haul from Doha or Dubai with fares near USD 200-220.
| September | Mid | Medium | Monsoon eases; Indra Jatra festival draws local crowds. |

| November | Peak | High | Crystal-clear skies; most popular month, book well ahead. |

Most nationalities can obtain a tourist visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport for USD 30 (15 days) or USD 50 (30 days), payable by card or cash. A small number of nationalities are exempt, and a few require advance visas. Always verify your specific requirements at the official Nepal Department of Immigration website (immigration.gov.np) before you travel.
Tribhuvan International Airport is about 6 km from Thamel, the main tourist district. Pre-paid taxis from the official booth outside arrivals cost roughly NPR 700-900 and take 20-35 minutes depending on traffic. App-based services like Pathao or InDrive are cheaper at NPR 400-600. Many hotels offer free or low-cost shuttles if you arrange in advance.
October and November are widely considered the best months: skies are clear after the monsoon, temperatures are comfortable, and trekking conditions in the surrounding hills are ideal. Spring (March to May) is the second-best window, with blooming rhododendrons and fewer crowds than autumn. The June-to-August monsoon brings heavy rain and potential flight delays.
A typical one-stop flight from London to Kathmandu takes around 12 to 14 hours in total, including a connection in Doha (Qatar Airways) or Dubai (Emirates). There are no nonstop flights from the UK to KTM. Booking eight to twelve weeks ahead is advisable, especially for autumn travel.
Your e-ticket is issued immediately after your booking is confirmed on Laters.com, regardless of which BNPL provider you use. You do not need to wait until your instalments are paid. Check your inbox (and spam folder) within a few minutes of completing checkout.
Baggage allowances vary by airline and fare class. Full-service carriers like Qatar Airways and Air India typically include 23-30 kg of checked baggage on international routes, while low-cost carriers such as IndiGo and AirAsia charge separately for hold luggage. Trekkers carrying gear should check allowances carefully and consider adding extra baggage at Laters.com checkout, where it can be split across instalments.
