Looking for cheap flights from Udaipur to Kathmandu? FlightGPT compares live UDR to KTM fares across every connected source — Indian carriers, Gulf hubs, OTAs and trusted travel agents — and shows the cheapest options side by side. Whether you want a Udaipur to Kathmandu non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Udaipur-Kathmandu fare is one search away.
The standard routing is IndiGo or Air India from Udaipur to Delhi (UDR–DEL, ≈ 1 hour 20 minutes), followed by a connection to Kathmandu on IndiGo's DEL–KTM service (≈ 1 hour 35 minutes) or on Nepal-registered carriers like Buddha Air or Yeti Airlines. Delhi to Kathmandu has around 6–8 frequencies daily from multiple airlines. An alternative is to fly Udaipur to Jaipur first (≈ 55 minutes) and then JAI–KTM if a direct Jaipur–Kathmandu service is operating — check current schedules as this route is seasonal. The Jaipur connection is geographically closer but has fewer daily options; Delhi is more reliable for frequency and onward connections.
Udaipur–Kathmandu economy round trips as of June 2026 typically fall in the ₹12,000–₹22,000 range. Budget travellers who book 4–6 weeks ahead and travel mid-week (Tuesday–Thursday) often find fares at the lower end of that range. Peak periods — Dashain and Tihar (Nepal's biggest festivals, October), Dussehra–Diwali, and winter holidays (December–January) — push prices to ₹25,000–₹35,000. The Nepal tourism peak season (October–November for trekking, March–April for rhododendron blooms) also tightens seat availability. February and June–July (outside monsoon peak) are the quietest months for Kathmandu tourism and usually the cheapest for airfares too.
Nepal Standard Time (NPT) is UTC+5:45 — 15 minutes ahead of Indian Standard Time. This unusual offset means that if your Delhi–Kathmandu flight lands at 14:00 IST, local time in Kathmandu is already 14:15 NPT. For connection planning, it has almost no practical impact — the most important buffer at Delhi T3 is the domestic-to-international switch (allow 2.5–3 hours between landing at T3 domestic and the KTM departure). Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) is a single compact terminal with short immigration queues for Indians (you use the "SAARC nationals" lane, which is typically faster than the general foreign national queue).
Indian nationals enjoy visa-free entry to Nepal — one of the very few countries where no visa or eVisa is required at all. You can enter on a valid Indian passport OR a valid Election Commission of India Voter ID card (photographic voter ID). However, if you plan to travel further within Nepal or use domestic flights, a passport is strongly recommended since some carriers require it. You do not need to fill in any arrival card at Tribhuvan for Indians. Currency: Nepal Rupee (NPR); Indian Rupees (INR) are widely accepted at most shops and hotels in Kathmandu at a fixed rate of 1 INR ≈ 1.6 NPR, though exchange offices give marginally better rates. For up-to-date entry rules, visit /visas.
Udaipur travellers accustomed to heritage palaces and lake views will feel at home in Kathmandu's UNESCO-listed Durbar Squares (Kathmandu, Patan, Bhaktapur). Pashupatinath Temple on the Bagmati river is one of South Asia's holiest Hindu shrines. The hilltop stupa of Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple) and the serene Boudhanath are Buddhist landmarks equally worth a half-day. For adventure, Pokhara (a 5-hour bus or 25-minute domestic flight from KTM) serves as the gateway to the Annapurna trekking circuit. Kathmandu's Thamel area is packed with reasonably priced hotels, cafes, and gear shops for outdoor enthusiasts.
IndiGo's feeder UDR–DEL includes 15 kg in the base "Super Saver" fare; the DEL–KTM sector on the same booking typically carries the same allowance — check your booking confirmation carefully. Air India allows 15–25 kg depending on the fare family. Buddha Air and Yeti Airlines economy fares include 20 kg on international sectors. As of June 2026, Nepal has a 5 kg hand-luggage limit on domestic sectors within the country if you take a domestic flight to Pokhara or Chitwan. Carry a light day-pack for valley sightseeing; the Kathmandu ring-road traffic can be heavy and you will often walk between UNESCO sites in the historic core.
Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) sits just 6 km from Thamel, Kathmandu's tourist hub. The arrival hall has an ATM (Nepal Investment Bank, accepts Visa/Mastercard) and money changers. Pre-paid taxi booths inside the terminal charge a fixed NPR 700–900 (≈ ₹450–₹560) to Thamel — use these rather than the touts outside. Journey time is 20–45 minutes depending on traffic. Kathmandu has severe air-quality issues (heavy dust and vehicle pollution) — consider packing an N95 mask, particularly in winter months (November–February). Altitude is 1,400 m — most visitors feel fine, but pace yourself if combining Kathmandu with higher-altitude trekking immediately after landing.
No. As of 2026 there is no non-stop. The best option is Udaipur to Delhi (≈ 1h 20m) then Delhi to Kathmandu (≈ 1h 35m), totalling around 4–5 hours with the layover.
No — Indian citizens do not require any visa for Nepal. You can enter on a valid Indian passport or a valid photographic Voter ID card. No eVisa or fee is required.
Economy round trips typically range from ₹12,000–₹22,000. Prices spike to ₹25,000–₹35,000 around Nepal's Dashain/Tihar (October), Diwali, and winter school holidays.
Yes — Indian Rupees are widely accepted in Kathmandu at roughly 1 INR = 1.6 NPR. However, denominations of ₹2,000 are not accepted; carry ₹100/₹500 notes. Exchange offices offer slightly better rates than direct use.
Delhi is better for frequency: DEL–KTM has 6–8 flights daily from multiple airlines including IndiGo and Air India. Jaipur is geographically closer but operates fewer KTM connections and schedules are seasonal.
About 6 km — roughly a 20–45 minute taxi depending on traffic. Fixed-rate pre-paid taxis inside the terminal charge NPR 700–900 (≈ ₹450–₹560) to Thamel.
What you pay on the Udaipur–Kathmandu route hinges on timing: book roughly 3–8 weeks ahead, stay flexible on the day of week, and you usually land the better fare. Search Udaipur to Kathmandu live to see how today's price compares to dates a month out — the gap is often 25–40 percent across .
Last-minute Udaipur to Kathmandu fares move fast, but they're rarely the same across every airline. Run your date through the search above and FlightGPT compares real-time Udaipur Kathmandu prices across — so you grab the cheapest seat still open, not the first one you see.
There is currently no non-stop service between Udaipur and Kathmandu — itineraries connect via a hub, with a typical journey of ≈ 4–5h total (1-stop via Delhi or Jaipur). Comparing hubs side by side often saves 15-30 percent. FlightGPT lets you filter by "Direct only" or compare both side by side — useful when you want the cheapest Udaipur Kathmandu ticket but are open to a layover.
Expect Udaipur–Kathmandu fares to vary by cabin, baggage and how the fare is bundled. A bare low-cost fare can end up dearer than a full-service carrier ticket once you add a bag and a seat. FlightGPT shows the all-in price for each option, so you're comparing like for like rather than misleading lead-in fares.
