By air:
Nepal, a landlocked country that ranges from flat plains to the High Himalayas, is connected to the rest of world via air transportation. It is also connected to India and China (Tibet) by road.
Nepal has only one International Airport (Tribhuvan International Airport), which is in Kathmandu, the capital city. There are plans underway to construct an international airport elsewhere, too.
Tribhuvan International Airport is just 5 kilometres from central Kathmandu. The domestic airport terminal is just 500 metres from the international terminal and uses the same runway.
Many airlines operate regular flights between Kathmandu and rest of the world, including:
