Maybe one of the worst airport I ever travelled. First of all to get in the airport it is quite complicated. There is so much traffic in Kathmandu. Moreover you have to be there at least 3-4 hours before as you never know how many people will be there. You need to pass from immagration, fill a form and then wait and wait and wait. Secuirity is very loose. No WiFi. In general the airport was dirty. Toilets smelled and feeled very bad. Waiting area had two normal LCD TV with english documentaries. Thats all. If there are many flights you will spend your time waiting in lines, otherwise you will get bored as it is a small airport.

The airport is incredibly easy to get to -- just make sure you haggle the cab fare ahead of time and don't pay more than NPR500.

Once you arrive at the domestic terminal, don't be shocked to see something that resembles a cross between a prison and bus depot. It's not fancy at all, and has the vibe of an early morning crowded meat market.

Flights are frequently delayed and canceled, but the persistent and early bird gets the worm. Patience and luck are the two most important qualities.

Security is a joke, as the staff will just sort of make a swipe at you -- their pat down -- and only ask if you have weapons or explodeables on you.

Old, run down, poor amenities, poor seating, poorly air conditioned, profound LACK of security checks. no jet bridges --- Easily one of my FAVORITE airports!! Reminds me of what travel must have been like in simpler times, was a bit of a laugh, and i found it pretty charming all round!

A really really really bad airport! But, if you're flying to Nepal - there are no other options. No Wi-Fi, horrible multiple security checks, very old building, no good food, appalling restrooms - just every piece of crap you can possibly imagine - that's Tribhuvan International. But what are you gonna do...

Oh my, this was truly extraordinary experience :) The airport is old and staff check passports and tickets sooo many times - they even made us go through three... hm... wagons placed right in front of the plane entrance. This was extremely strange :)

Its an adventure. The most dangerous Airport in the world and after landing and taking off there I know why. It has a lot of charme though and you gotta love it.
