How To Reach Kathmandu From Chennai

From Chennai International Airport, there are thrice a week Chennai to Kathmandu flights to Tribhuvan Airport. These flights mostly connect at Delhi but still cover the 1000+ km distance pretty fast. The quickest flight is operated by Jet Airways, and it takes 6 hours 30 minutes to make the commute.

By Air: Chennai to Kathmandu flights are available at affordable rates, and there are many of them for anyone looking options. However, they are mostly connecting flights, where most of them have layovers in different cities, in either Delhi or Mumbai. The journey itself is fastest with Air India, with the flight taking 5 hours and 40 minutes.  The flights are the preferred method of transport, taking the least time and being the most comfortable.

By Road: Travelling from Chennai to Kathmandu by road is not an investment that makes sense. The two cities are located very far from each other at a distance of over 2656 kilometers. Traveling such a long distance takes a lot of time, making the journey 48 hours long, which comes to two days on the road, not including any stops made for refreshment or sleep.

By Train: There is no direct Chennai to Kathmandu train, as a railway does not exist as such between Nepal and India. There are options for those traveling by trains, however. They can travel to Raxaul in Bihar, which borders Siliguri, and avail buses or any other alternative forms of transport from there onwards to reach Kathmandu.
