Nagpur's Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport (NAG) has domestic connections to Delhi (DEL) and Mumbai (BOM) on IndiGo and Air India. From Delhi, IndiGo, Air India, and Nepal Airlines operate daily non-stop flights to Kathmandu (KTM) in roughly 1 hour 45 minutes. From Mumbai, the BOM–KTM sector takes ≈ 2 hours 45 minutes on IndiGo or Air India. Booking both segments as a combined itinerary is advisable to avoid the risk of a missed connection if the NAG leg is delayed. Layover times at DEL T3 of 2–3 hours work well for transit.
Kathmandu flights from Nagpur are most affordable in the lean season of July–August (monsoon in Nepal, but still popular for indoor temple tourism and Pashupatinath). The busiest and priciest windows are October (post-monsoon trekking season with Everest Base Camp crowds) and March–April (spring trekking peak). Book 6–10 weeks in advance during shoulder seasons; avoid last-minute bookings when seats on the DEL–KTM leg get scarce. Flying midweek and choosing early-morning NAG departures maximises the chance of a smooth connection at Delhi.
The Nagpur–Delhi sector covers ≈ 1,050 km in approximately 1 hour 45 minutes. Delhi to Kathmandu is a further ≈ 1 hour 45 minutes, covering the remaining 660 km. Nepal runs on Nepal Standard Time (NPT, UTC+5:45) — an unusual 15-minute offset ahead of India that can catch first-time visitors off guard; set your watch ahead by 15 minutes on landing. Tribhuvan International Airport is single-runway and can be busy during morning and late-afternoon peaks; factor in some buffer time if you have onward travel in Kathmandu.

IndiGo includes 15–20 kg checked baggage; Air India typically allows 25 kg. Trekkers and mountaineers carrying gear should note that sports/trekking equipment often attracts an oversized baggage charge — check your carrier's specific policy. Kathmandu markets are well-stocked with budget trekking gear if you prefer to travel light and rent or buy locally.
Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport (NAG) is ≈ 8 km from Nagpur's zero mile stone; taxis take 15–25 minutes. Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) is ≈ 6 km east of Thamel, Kathmandu's main tourist district, about 20–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic. The airport is small and can be crowded during peak trekking season — arrive early for departures and collect your bags promptly on arrival. Currency exchange counters and ATMs are available in the arrivals hall.
Indians enjoy uniquely free and visa-less entry to Nepal — the only other country besides Bhutan where Indians do not require a visa. A valid Indian passport or voter's identity card (with photo) is sufficient to enter Nepal. There is no time limit on stays for Indian nationals. Note that you cannot use Aadhaar alone at the airport; carry a government-issued photo ID with proof of Indian citizenship. No currency or security declaration is needed for normal amounts. See /visas for general travel documentation advice.
October and November are Nepal's golden months — crystal-clear Himalayan views, ideal trekking weather on the routes to Everest Base Camp and the Annapurna Circuit, and vibrant festivals including Dashain and Tihar. March and April are the second-best window with spring rhododendron blooms at altitude. Kathmandu city itself (temples, Durbar Squares, Boudhanath stupa) is enjoyable year-round, including the wet monsoon months when the valley stays lush and green. July–August are the lowest-priced months with occasional misty mountain views but thriving green landscapes.
