About the service

Kathmandu Airport Transfers, Without the Taxi Queue

After a long flight, the last thing you want is to bargain for a taxi outside Tribhuvan International Airport. Our airport pickup service has your vehicle and driver waiting at arrivals, ready to take you to your hotel in Thamel, Patan or anywhere in the Kathmandu valley.

Share your flight number when you book and we'll adjust the pickup if your flight is delayed. Travelling light? A sedan or EV SUV is perfect for two. With family or a group, a seven-seat Scorpio has room for everyone's luggage. Heading on to Pokhara or Chitwan? Keep the vehicle for the rest of your trip.

Airport drops work the same way: we pick you up from your hotel or home in time for your departure, including early-morning and late-night flights. Already have your own vehicle? Book one of our drivers instead.
