We are not currently seeing non-stop services from Abu Dhabi (AUH) to Kathmandu (KTM) over 3 265 km. All itineraries include at least one connection, and the durations shown are total journey time including the layover.
Kathmandu is one of the most visited cities in Nepal, drawing travellers for its mix of historic quarters, modern districts and easy onward connections. Flights to Kathmandu land at Kathmandu KTM, a short transfer from the centre, which makes even a short break practical.
The city centre is compact enough to explore on foot, with markets, museums and waterfront promenades within walking distance of most hotels. Outside the core, residential neighbourhoods offer cheaper stays and a more local feel while staying on the metro or bus network.
Peak season brings higher hotel rates and busier attractions, so shoulder months are the sweet spot for both weather and price. Book Abu Dhabi — Kathmandu flights three to six weeks ahead to stay near the lead-in fare.
Kathmandu KTM International Airport sits a short drive from the city centre and handles the majority of international arrivals into Nepal. Terminals are signposted in English, and arrivals halls have ATMs, SIM vendors and licensed taxi desks.
Airport express buses run every 20–30 minutes into the centre and are the cheapest option. Metro or rail links, where available, are the fastest at peak traffic times, while metered taxis and ride-hailing apps are the simplest choice late at night or with luggage.
Allow 30–60 minutes for the transfer depending on traffic, and at least two hours at the airport for international departures.
