Delhi to Kathmandu Distance

	By Air	By Road	By Train	By Sea
New Delhi to kathmandu	2.0 hours	-	-	-

As one wants to know how to reach Kathmandu from Delhi, then it can be concluded that the best mode of transport is via flight. There are plenty of flights, such as Royal Nepal Airways, Air India, and IndiGo that provide their services to help one cover the aerial distance of about 800 kms in about one and a half hours. As the ticket price for a Delhi to Kathmandu is around INR 5,000, you can either opt for this route, or board a flight from Varanasi, which can have a little lower price. The secondary option can be roadways, or a combination of road and rail routes. Though, you cannot find a direct train to Kathmandu, there are a few trains that you can board to Gorakhpur, followed by two bus journeys to Sunauli and then Kathmandu. However, as the journey can be quite tiresome, it is advised to travel there via bus, which is again the cheapest modes of transportation to reach Kathmandu from Delhi. You can also choose to travel between the two places via car, either through Sunauli or Banbasa in Uttarakhand. The latter one is quite picturesque and the quickest route to reach the destination.

Here is our detailed guide in regard to the best way to travel from Delhi to Kathmandu via different transport systems.

Delhi to Kathmandu by Flight: Tribhuvan International Airport, 5 km away from the main city is the one that connects Kathmandu with India and the rest of the world. All the Delhi to Kathmandu flight routes are direct, without any stop or layover. There are more than seven flights every day of the week. Jet Airways and Air India have the most number of flights. Delhi to Kathmandu flight distance is around 800 kilometers, which is easily traveled in less than 2 hours.

Delhi to Kathmandu by Train: Here’s the most economical way to travel between the two places. Though, there is no direct rail connectivity between the two regions, the most viable option to travel from Delhi to Kathmandu by train is via Gorakhpur. You can board a train from Delhi to Gorakhpur, and then get on a bus journey from there to Sunauli followed by another bus journey to Kathmandu. The total journey may take around 11 to 13 hours, while the fare may range between INR 550 and INR 3,500, depending on the bus or train services that you avail.

Delhi to Kathmandu by Road: There are four border crossings for the tourists who travel from India via roadways. You can travel to Kathmandu from Delhi via bus or car.

By Bus: There is a direct bus that departs daily at 10 AM from Delhi to Kathmandu. While navigating its way via Agra and Sunali, the journey takes about 30 hours with some regular stops for toilet and dining purposes. The bus journey may cost you somewhere about INR 2,500.

By Car: Sunauli border crossing near Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh is the one used the most to go from Delhi to Kathmandu by car. The total distance to be covered till Kathmandu is around 1310 km, and it takes 20 hours at least to go via road.

Bangalore

Aravind's 8 days trip to kathmandu

The coordinator did a great job overall but could have been more attentive. There was some confusion with the itinerary, but it was managed well. Hotels (Ama la - Thamel, Kathmandu ; Tuki resort, Pokhara ; De Purang, Muktinath ; Rain forest, Chitwan) all were good. The food was best in Chitwan. Tha

nks for the great memories - Amit. Good job.

Arulak's 8 days trip to kathmandu

Travel agents in some places provide lower categories of hotels even though better accommodation available. Picking up at the airport should be rightly maintained. Also the facilities available in any place of visit to be rightly mentioned in the program. The trip was wonderful journey with a frien

dly Driver cum Guide Mr Balaram. He satisfied all our needs and queries.

Vagesh's 5 days trip to kathmandu

Overall things were planned fine. Just had hiccups when our force traveller developed some issues and had problematic travel to Pokhara without air conditioning on which annoyed the travellers. On next days however , they managed to provide an alternative vehicle to avoid facing the issue again. Man

Guptaankita's 6 days trip to kathmandu

Big thanks to MD Adventure travel and tours and especially to Shabu who went above and beyond her role, for making our Nepal trip super smooth and stress-free! She was always just a call away—even on the eve of the Nepali New Year. She welcomed us at the airport with a big smile and handled everythi

ng so well, even when rain messed up our itinerary. Really appreciate her support and flexibility throughout the trip! If u are planning a trip to nepal do it through them. Highly recommended.

Bedanta Bikash Kalita

North east

Bedanta's 6 days trip to kathmandu

Every thing is well organised. Driver niranjan is very humble and helpful. Always on time. Hotels are good, clean and food is also good. Hotel shangrila nagarkot is spacious with a great view of the mountain and sunrise can be seen from the bed itself . Hotel lake paradise is overall good but all

electric sockets are non functional in both the rooms but extension board was arranged by the hotel staff which is great help. All the hotels are clean staff are helpful. Hotel Taleju in kathmandu is good. Car given to us is actually a chinese made electric van which they called a luxury van with no view of outside and poor suspension. It requires charging twice on route to Pokhara and Kathmandu. Power cut in charging station is frequent and long queue makes it a very impractical vehicle for tourists who visit for leisure. Driver tried his best to keep us comfortable during the journey. Owner of the agency get offended when I compared the Chinese van with Maruti eco. But actually the van is poor in suspension then eco and cant see anything outside. According to them if the seats are reclining it comes under luxury category.. actually its not their fault the agency already sent the pictures of the vehicle at the time of booking but I mistook it by its look with the luxury tourist van that are used in other South East Asian countries. These vehicles may be a good option only after the highway construction and is completed.

Prafull Pandey

Prafull's 4 days trip to kathmandu

Very memorable trip to Nepal . Pokhara trip was best one

Sprahlad

Uttar pradesh

Sprahlad's 7 days trip to kathmandu

Hotels booked were unaware about accommodation to be provided. They tried to allot 3 rooms instead of 2 rooms with extra bed in one.Agency should be able to accept changes in itinerary. Road from Nagarkot to Lumbini was very bad.

Gejjii

Dubai

Gejjii's 5 days trip to kathmandu

Well organized and had support for the entire journey and one suggestion the local travel agent keep on eye of the government emigration rules (NOCs) communicate the tourist so the travel could have been smooth trip to avoid last minute surprises.
