Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is located right off the 405, southwest of downtown Los Angeles. Light rail and bus service will also get you to LAX, as will the LAX FlyAway shuttle, which picks passengers up from Downtown, Hollywood, Santa Monica, Van Nuys or Westwood.
Flight times are usually 21 to 25 hours from LAX to Kathmandu Tribhuvan (KTM). Passengers arriving at KTM will find public transportation services to their hotels and into surrounding cities and towns. The airport is accessible via the Arniko Highway and Bhaktapur Road. Prepaid taxi services also await passengers outside of the terminal.
This capital city is situated 4,600 feet above sea level and is considered the gateway to the main attractions in the country. Visitors like to see Pashupatinath Temple and Kathmandu Durbar Square while they are in town.
For more adventure, trekking paths and tours are available through the Himalayas. If walking isn’t your speed, catch a mountain plane that will give you an aerial tour of the mountain range.
Because of the high altitude, some visitors to Kathmandu might feel a little unwell initially, but these symptoms will subside as your body acclimates to the region. Kathmandu visitors generally stay in the Paknajol district.
