Kilimanjaro International Airport is your friendly and efficient starting point for connecting to destinations globally after exploring this great African attraction. As you prepare for departure, you will find the airport is well-run, despite its smaller size, offering a smooth experience for travellers flying from Kilimanjaro.
For transport to the airport, taxis and pre-arranged airport transfers via tour and safari operators are the most practical choice, as parking is extremely limited. Although bus links exist, they are often crowded and less suitable if you have significant luggage or are travelling with children. Always allow extra time for check-in and security procedures, especially during peak holiday periods, as security is tight.
Once through, you can relax in the Departures lounge. Facilities and amenities include ATMs and currency exchange services for your travel needs. Browse the selection of retail outlets offering local crafts and souvenirs, or visit the Duty Free shop for perfumes and luxury goods. Quick, on-the-go snacks and fast food are readily available at the relaxed restaurants. Wi-Fi access is also on offer in some parts of the airport for a fee, keeping you connected before you board your flight.
Enjoy an unforgettable welcome in Kathmandu, the historic capital of Nepal. Based in the world's most mountainous region, it seamlessly blends ancient wonders with a dynamic, modern atmosphere.
Navigating the city is easy; you can explore its eclectic mix of ancient and contemporary sites on foot or by taking a colourful rickshaw, giving you the chance to experience its authentic local energy. Discover Kathmandu's profound history, which stretches back over 2,000 years, evident in its wealth of traditional structures and ancient temples. The capital is renowned as the primary starting point for the incredible climbing and hiking trails in Nepal, including those near the towering Mt. Everest.
For a serene escape from the bustle, visit the beautifully restored Garden of Dreams (Kaiser Mahal), an oasis that encapsulates the Nepalese dedication to nature with its stunning collection of rare flora. Alternatively, you can trace the country's fascinating political past by visiting the Narayanhiti Palace Museum. As dusk approaches, be sure to admire the spectacular sight of resident giant fruit bats coming in to roost.
