Kathmandu (KTM)
Nepal’s capital city is an ideal base for any trip to Nepal. A treat for the senses, Kathmandu juxtaposes beautiful temples in its Old Town with lively markets and medieval squares. All is set against the backdrop of the Himalayas just a short distance away.
Reasons to visit Nepal
Experience one of the world’s most welcoming nations
You can’t miss the coloured flags strung up at peaks and elevations across Nepal. In fact, you may even see some as you begin your descent during your Nepal flight.
A long-held tradition among Tibetans and the Nepalese, prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength and wisdom, with each colour representing a different sentiment.
This warmth of spirit is reflected in the country’s people, with Nepal known for its hospitality. You’ll be welcomed to the country with open arms and, quite possibly, an invitation to one of its many cosy teahouses.
Explore thousands of years of Asian history
Nepal’s Hindu and Buddhist temples are true masterpieces, their red colouring a striking feature of the skyline.
Durbar Square in Kathmandu has the best of the bunch. A collection of elevated, tiered temples which are positioned so they overlook the city. While Nepal’s best-preserved medieval town, Bhaktapur, offers the tallest temple in the country.
Those visiting Nepal’s oldest temple, the 1,500-year-old Changu Narayan Temple, will enjoy art through the ages from the Himalayan region. As this is a religious monument, remember to dress accordingly and cover your arms, shoulders, chest and legs.
Trek some of the world’s most dizzying peaks
Best experienced in-person, rather than through the pages of a magazine, the Himalayas provide a truly unique experience and contain some of the tallest peaks in the world.
Mount Everest is the highest peak of them all. It straddles the border between Nepal and Tibet and stands proud at 29,000 feet.
The third highest mountain in the world, Kangchenjunga, is around 80 miles away, and creates a stunning jagged line across the horizon.
Things to know before you fly to Nepal

Flying to Nepal: FAQs
Which airport will I fly to in Nepal?
Your Etihad flight to Nepal will land at Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) – the country’s main airport, about three miles outside of Kathmandu.
From Kathmandu, it’s possible to fly to Pokhara to visit some of the country’s main tourist sites. However, bus routes are the most common way to travel across the country.
What is the food like in Nepal?
You’ll find many Asian classic dishes on offer in Nepal, often with a Nepalese twist. Vegetables, lentils and spices are all key to this cuisine. Look out for the delicious dumplings called momo, served with a dipping sauce – usually a fresh tomato chutney.
How much time should I spend in Nepal?
The length of a stay in Nepal tends to depend on the nature of the trip. Travellers to the Kathmandu Valley can see the main attractions in two or three days. If you want to fit in a visit to Pokhara, then five to eight days is about right. For a trekking getaway in Nepal, people often visit for two or three weeks.
