To and from airport in Kathmandu
To and from airport in Kathmandu
Many hotel and guest houses offer complimentary pick up and delivery from the airport. Taxis are also available. As always, negotiate the price beforehand with the driver. A taxi ride to Thamel or Boudha should not exceed 300 NPR. Otherwise, order a taxi at the pre-paid booth inside the airport, which costs 600 NPR (May 2011). A pre-paid from the taxi stand outside the domestic terminal costs NPR450 to Thamel (April 2011). Both these fees are more than the meter rate, but saves the hassle of long negotiations. Try not to exchange money at the airport. Money changers at the airport not only charge service charge but also offer a lower rate than is offered in Thamel or elsewhere in town.
Don't pay for a taxi at the taxi desk or at any of the drivers immediately outside the airport terminal, they're all a rip-off. They'll ask for 500nrs at least, especially if they see you're a newcomer. Simply ignore them and take your bags out and past them to the edge of the parking lot where many other drivers await. Haggling with them can get you a taxi to Thamel for around 300nrs.
