KTM Car Service
Kathmandu Airport Taxi & Private Transfer
Landing at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) — Kathmandu's main international airport, also known as KTM airport — is the starting point for most visitors to Nepal. The exit can be chaotic: taxi touts, unfamiliar roads, and no fixed meter. A pre-booked private car from KTM Car Service removes all of that stress. Your driver will be waiting for you by name, ready to take you directly to your hotel in Kathmandu (Katmandu), Thamel, or wherever you're staying.
Tribhuvan Airport Pickup – How It Works
After clearing customs and collecting your bags, look for your driver holding a sign with your name. Your private car — clean, air-conditioned, and driven by an English-speaking professional — will take you to your destination without stops, detours, or price negotiations. We monitor flight arrivals so we're there even if your flight lands early or late.
