When to fly to Nepal (Kathmandu)

October–November is the main trekking season, with clear mountain views, and it's also when Dashain and Tihar fall, so flights and hotels fill early. Dashain 2027 is expected to start on about 30 September, with the main Tika day on about 9 October, and Tihar follows in late October; Nepal confirms the official dates closer to the time. March–May is the second trekking season, with rhododendrons in bloom. December–February is cold but clear and quieter, fine for lower treks, and Christmas–January is busy for family visits from Australia. June–September is the monsoon: fares are lower, but landslides and flight delays are common and the mountains are often hidden. SA school holidays run 12 Dec 2026 – 27 Jan 2027.

Baggage on this route

Allowances depend on the airline and the fare you choose. Low-cost carriers only include the bags you pay for, which matters if you travel with a lot of luggage.

Leaving from Adelaide Airport (ADL)

Domestic and international flights share one terminal at Adelaide, so families positioning to Melbourne or Sydney for a non-stop start in the same building — but book the domestic leg on the same ticket (or allow 3 h+) because the gateway transfer is the risky part.

Arriving at Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu (KTM)

  • The airport is about 6 km from Thamel. A prepaid taxi from the counter in the arrivals area costs roughly NPR 700–1,200 and takes 25–60 minutes in traffic. Ride-hailing apps such as Pathao and inDrive also work; expect to pay cash.
  • Domestic flights to Pokhara and the trekking regions leave from the separate domestic terminal. Mountain flights are often delayed by weather, so leave a spare day or two between a trek and your flight home.
  • Entry: Australians need a visa. You can get a tourist visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport, or apply in advance on the Department of Immigration's official online portal. Fees are about US$30 for 15 days, US$50 for 30 days and US$125 for 90 days; carry some US dollars in case cards aren't accepted. Solo trekkers must hire a licensed guide: https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/destinations/asia/nepal
