How to Reach Kathmandu from India by Air, Road, and Rail
Reaching Kathmandu, Nepal from India can be done by air, road, and partially by rail. Here
are the detailed options for each mode of transportation:
By Air
Flying to Kathmandu is the most hassle-free and efficient way to travel from India. Tribhuvan
International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu is well-connected to major Indian cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Varanasi, and Bangalore. Airlines such as Air India, IndiGo, and Nepal Airlines operate regular flights, making it easy to find a convenient flight. The flight duration from Delhi to Kathmandu is approximately 1.5 hours.
By Road
Traveling to Kathmandu by road is an adventurous alternative. There are several border
crossings between India and Nepal, with the most popular ones being:
● Sunauli-Bhairahawa: Accessible from Varanasi and New Delhi, with direct buses
available. The journey from Delhi takes around 25 hours, while from Varanasi it takes
about 15 hours.
● Raxaul-Birgunj: A key entry point accessible from Patna, Bihar. Bus and car
services are readily available for the onward journey to Kathmandu.
Travelers can hire private cars or take local buses from these border points to reach
Kathmandu. The road journey offers scenic views of both Indian and Nepalese countryside.
By Rail
Direct train services from India to Kathmandu are not available. However, you can take a train to one of the border towns in India and then continue by road. The most common route is:
● Train to Gorakhpur: Several trains connect major Indian cities to Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh.
● Gorakhpur to Sunauli: From Gorakhpur, take a bus or taxi to the Sunauli border (around 3-4 hours).
● Sunauli to Kathmandu: From Sunauli, buses and taxis are available for the 7-8 hour journey to Kathmandu.
Recommendation
For a hassle-free and comfortable journey, traveling by air is highly recommended. It saves time and avoids the complexities of multiple transfers. Direct flights are the most convenient option, ensuring a smooth travel experience. For those who prefer a more budget-friendly option, direct buses from New Delhi or Varanasi to Kathmandu are also a viable choice.
Ensure you have the necessary travel documents, such as a valid passport or Voter ID for Indian nationals, and be aware of the entry requirements and border crossing formalities.
