Air India and IndiGo connect Pune to Kathmandu via Delhi, where the DEL–KTM leg takes ≈ 1.5–2h. Nepal Airlines also operates DEL–KTM services. Via Mumbai, the connection is slightly longer but works well with morning departures from Pune. The domestic feeder (PNQ–DEL) takes ≈ 2h, bringing total travel time to ≈ 4–5h with a well-timed layover. Buddha Air, Nepal's private carrier, does not yet serve Indian metros directly.
Nepal's monsoon season (June–September) brings the lowest airfares, though trekking conditions are poor. The peak trekking windows — October–November and March–April — see the highest demand and fares. Dashain and Tihar festivals (September–November) also spike Nepali diaspora travel. Booking ≈ 4–6 weeks ahead and flying midweek keeps costs down on this short international hop.
Via Delhi: PNQ–DEL (≈ 2h) plus DEL–KTM (≈ 1.5h), totalling ≈ 4–5h with a reasonable transit. Via Mumbai the routing adds a BOM–DEL–KTM itinerary or a BOM–KTM flight if available, stretching the journey to ≈ 5–6h. Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) sits in a valley at ≈ 1,338 m elevation, ≈ 6 km east of Thamel. Mountain views on approach — request a window seat on the left side for Himalayan panoramas.
Air India allows 25 kg checked baggage on the DEL–KTM international leg; IndiGo includes ≈ 20 kg. Trekking gear (boots, sleeping bags, poles) can push you close to the limit, so weigh your pack carefully. Cabin baggage is 7 kg. Indicative fares are live on FlightGPT as of May 2026. This route is relatively affordable — economy fares rarely exceed ≈ ₹15,000 one-way even in peak season.
Flights depart from Pune Airport (PNQ). If connecting via Delhi, domestic arrivals land at T1 or T3, and the KTM flight departs from T3 — check your airline to confirm. At Kathmandu, Tribhuvan Airport has an international and a domestic terminal side by side. Immigration for Indians is fast — just show your passport or Voter ID (no visa forms). The airport is small, so exiting to the taxi stand takes ≈ 15–20 minutes after landing.
Indian citizens do not need a visa to enter Nepal. You can enter with a valid Indian passport or a Voter ID card with a photo — no Aadhaar alone is accepted. There is no duration limit on stay for Indians, though registering with the local ward office is recommended for stays beyond 30 days. This makes Nepal one of the most hassle-free international destinations from India. See /visas for other travel documentation tips.
