Seychelles International Airport is your welcoming gateway as you depart from the paradise island of Mahé. This warm and friendly airport is located approximately 12 kilometres southeast of the capital and offers attentive staff dedicated to making your journey stress-free.
When considering transport to the airport, a taxi is the easiest option; however, be mindful of potential night-time surcharges if you have an evening flight. Alternatively, buses run regularly every 20-30 minutes from the capital’s centre, or you may utilise the limousine service offered by many hotels for VIP guests. Please note that parking is extremely limited, so using public transport or taxis is the most practical solution.
Upon arrival, head to the main terminal's Departure hall for check-in. Although the airport is relatively small, security checks are thorough and lengthy, so allow yourself about one to one and a half hours to complete both check-in and customs clearance. For your comfort, facilities are adequate, including Wi-Fi throughout the terminal. You can enjoy light snacks and beverages from the coffee bars, or a meal from the restaurant which serves food until the early evening. Remember to avoid taking photographs while at the airport due to the operational military base situated near the runway.
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.
