There is no non-stop Aurangabad–Kathmandu flight as of June 2026. The standard itinerary takes IndiGo or Air India from IXU to BOM (≈ 1h 10m), then an onward flight from BOM to KTM with IndiGo, Air India, or Nepal Airlines (≈ 2h 15m non-stop). Alternatively, Hyderabad (HYD) offers IndiGo and Air India BOM–style connections, with the IXU–HYD leg ≈ 1h 20m and HYD–KTM ≈ 2h 30m. Mumbai is preferred for frequency; the BOM–KTM sector has 2–3 daily non-stops covering early-morning and midday windows.
Indian passport holders are exempt from Nepal visa requirements entirely. You may enter Nepal with a valid Indian passport or an Indian voter identity card (no visa stamp required). There is no fee for Indian citizens at KTM immigration. Simply carry a passport (or voter ID), and you can stay in Nepal for an unlimited period as a tourist. This makes Aurangabad–Kathmandu one of the most hassle-free international routes for Indian travellers. No TDAC forms, no e-visa, no additional documentation beyond your standard government photo ID.
The IXU–BOM sector is ≈ 1h 10m; BOM–KTM is ≈ 2h 15m non-stop, bringing best-case total travel to around 4h 30m with a tight BOM transit. Most travellers budget 5–6h for the full journey with a comfortable connection. Kathmandu is only 15 minutes ahead of IST — essentially the same time zone — so no significant jet lag. Morning connections from Aurangabad (departing IXU around 06:00–07:00) can put you in Kathmandu by early afternoon, with time to reach Thamel before dusk.
Combined economy fares from Aurangabad to Kathmandu typically range from ≈ ₹8,000–₹14,000 one-way or ₹14,000–₹25,000 return, depending on season and booking lead time, as of June 2026. October–November (post-monsoon trekking season — Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Circuit) is peak demand, driving fares up to ₹18,000+ one-way. April–May is also busy (spring trekking). Cheapest windows are January–February and July–August (monsoon). Book 4–6 weeks ahead for decent availability on the BOM–KTM sector, which has limited seats.
Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) is the only international airport in Nepal, located ≈ 6 km from central Kathmandu. The Indian Citizen counter at immigration is separate from the regular international queue — Indian passport holders can proceed there without filling a visa form, making the arrival process fast (typically 10–20 minutes). Prepaid taxis from KTM to Thamel cost ≈ NPR 700–1,000 (≈ ₹450–650) and take 20–30 minutes. Currency exchange booths are available in the arrivals hall.
Nepal's most celebrated trekking windows are October–November (clear skies, post-monsoon green landscapes) and March–May (spring rhododendron blooms). Kathmandu Valley itself is pleasant year-round but gets cold (5–10°C nights) in December–January and smoky with haze in winter. The monsoon (June–September) brings heavy rain and leeches on trails, but lower tourist crowds and cheaper hotels. For Aurangabad travellers making a city + Pokhara trip (no major trek), November–December and February–March are excellent for weather and moderate fares.
IndiGo domestic (IXU–BOM) typically allows 15 kg checked baggage; the international leg BOM–KTM on IndiGo allows 20 kg. Air India domestic and international usually aligns at 15–25 kg depending on fare class. Nepal Airlines (Yeti Airlines, Shree Airlines) on KTM sectors typically allow 20 kg economy. If booked on separate PNRs, collect bags at Mumbai T2 domestic and re-check through the international departure area. Check current baggage rates at booking time (June 2026) as policies change seasonally.
