Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) is only about 6 km from Thamel. Use the official prepaid taxi counter in the arrivals hall — a fixed ~1,000 NPR to Thamel (100 NPR more after 21:00). Negotiated local taxis outside can be 700–800 NPR but are unregulated. Add your hotel on the Day-by-Day tab for an exact distance and fare. Verified Jul 2026.
