Travelers arriving at Tribhuvan International Airport can reach Kathmandu city center by public bus, airport or hotel shuttle, taxi, car rental, or pre-booked private transfer. The airport is close to central areas such as Ratna Park, Durbar Marg, and Thamel, but travel time depends heavily on Kathmandu traffic.
