AIRLINES

Airlines, Druk Air and Biman Bangladesh. But there are offices for other international airlines such as Cathay Pacific, Aeroflot, British Airways, Dragon Air, Lufthansa and Myanmar Airways. Once at the airport, you can easily get to your hotel (if pre-booked). There are organized taxi services as soon as you get out of your baggage collection point. Please be aware that these taxi drivers could be quite annoying. Handle carefully. They do not accept dollars, so make sure you get some change at the airport counter. The cost of these taxis from airport to the downtown Thamel or Durbar Marg is fixed to Rs. 250 (about 3 dollars). There is a saying "everything is tiny here..." so do most of the taxis.

OVERLAND
Overland entry point to Nepal are Mahendra Nagar in the far western Nepal that connect to state of Uttar Pradesh of India. Other entry point is Kakarvitta that connects to city of Siliguri and Darjeeling in the West Bengal State of India. Another major entry point is Kodari, at the border with Tibet. A lot of overland trip to Tibet goes and comes from Kodari. There are regular night buses from Mahendra Nagar and Kakarvitta to Kathmandu. There are day buses to and from Kodari to Kathmandu. While bus travel is very cheap, be prepared to get stuck for hours while taking one of these buses. Also the seats are built for Nepali and Indian size so they could be pretty uncomfortable for many Europeans and Westerners.

TAXI SERVICES
Numerous taxi services are available round the clock. Cab services with wide body cars from Korea are also available. All taxi services starts with an amount of Rs. 7 as soon as you get into the car. After 8:00pm in the night, the fare is doubled as it counts as night service. If you are stuck somewhere in the middle of the night, call one of the night taxis and tell them your location and they will be there to pick you up.

THREE WHEELERS
A rickshaw is considered best for city sightseeing. Although they are not allowed to certain busy streets but these man-pedaled three wheelers are best to stroll through the narrow streets of Kathmandu. Most importantly they don't pour smokes and they are pollution free. Help Kathmandu keep clean, use rickshaws!
