Flying from Abu Dhabi to Kathmandu: FAQs
Where should I stay in Kathmandu?
There are numerous neighbourhoods that are perfect for a stay in Kathmandu. If you’re looking for luxury hotels from international brands, consider the Lazimpat area. Thamel, by contrast, has a wider variety of guest houses and hotels close to numerous cafes and restaurants.
How do I get from Tribhuvan International Airport to the city centre?
For a comfortable and stylish journey to your onward destination, book an airport transfer with Etihad, and your driver will be waiting for you when you arrive. Alternatively, pre-paid airport taxis are available to take you from the airport to downtown. Using local taxis is also an option – just make sure you agree the price prior to departure.
Top tips for Abu Dhabi to Kathmandu
Admire the Swayambhunath Stupa
Just as the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque rises majestically as the star of Abu Dhabi’s skyline, so the Swayambhunath Stupa has become an icon of Kathmandu Valley.
This temple – just outside the main city – is home to four faces of Buddha that watch over the valley below, while pilgrims visit the gold crowned monument to join the procession around the base level, spinning the prayer wheels as they go.
Relax in the Garden of Dreams
The Garden of Dreams lies just a short walk from the city centre of Kathmandu, but transports you to a place of utter tranquillity.
Like the Umm Al Emarat Park in Abu Dhabi, the Garden of Dreams has many wonderful details to enjoy – including an ornate gate, fountains, ponds and a ‘hidden garden’ to the south.
