Landing in Kathmandu after a long international flight should be followed by a smooth, welcoming arrival experience. Here is your essential guide to navigating Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) and arriving comfortably at your hotel.
1. Arrival Procedures at Tribhuvan International Airport
After disembarking, international travelers complete immigration (On-Arrival Visa is available for most nationalities with digital kiosk support), collect checked luggage, and pass through customs. Once outside the arrival terminal doors, the airport arrival zone can be bustling with taxi touts.
2. Pre-Booked Private Chauffeur vs Hailing Local Taxis
Pre-booking your airport pickup with MR Vehicle Rental means your private driver waits directly outside the arrival gate holding a personalized name board. Our drivers assist with luggage and lead you directly to a clean, air-conditioned vehicle parked in the VIP zone.
3. Typical Travel Times from TIA to Major Kathmandu Hubs
Traffic in Kathmandu varies by time of day. Having an experienced driver who knows inner ring roads and shortcuts saves significant transit time.
