Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Bhaktapur
The nearest and most efficient gateway to Bhaktapur is Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM), located just 7.47 km away. As the primary international hub of Nepal, it offers the fastest and cheapest transit options, with taxis providing a quick 20-40 minute journey and local buses serving as the most economical link. In contrast, other airports like Gautam Buddha International Airport (BWA) and Pokhara International Airport (PKR) are significant distances away—approximately 199 km and 150 km respectively—necessitating multi-hour road journeys or connecting flights. Bharatpur Airport (BHR) serves as a domestic hub for Chitwan, requiring a 3-hour private car or longer bus ride to reach the city. Shigatse Tingri Airport (DDR) is the most remote and complex option, involving a vast, multi-day overland journey across international borders, making it unsuitable for direct access. For most travelers, flying into KTM is strongly recommended to minimize travel time and complexity. When arriving at any airport, it is advisable to pre-book private transport through your accommodation, as this is often more reliable than negotiating with non-metered taxis upon arrival.

Take a taxi to the entrance of the scenic area, bought a ticket (500 rubles-equivalent to 30 yuan), pass Duba Square, the alley on the left, it is easy to see this hotel. I arrived early, so I decided to go to Nagarkot. The man who looked like a hotel owner seriously told me how to get to the bus station and gave me directions on the map. The room was clean and fairly quiet. Breakfast on the roof is attentive. Finally, I also recommend a reliable taxi back to Kathmandu, and pick up the bus at the entrance of the hotel when the time is right.FromUS$16

The location is good, walking distance to Badgang Square and several other squares. I chose a heritage hotel specifically because I like the quaint and historical decoration style. It should be a solar water heater. It takes a while for the hot water to come out, but the water temperature is still satisfactory. I stayed for two nights and enjoyed two breakfasts. One was a buffet breakfast. There were not many varieties, but a few but fine ones, including both Western and local Nepali flavors. On the other day, because there were fewer guests, we had a breakfast set, which was local Nepali style. It included several kinds of dairy products, all of which were cold, such as yogurt and thin yogurt with water. It made my stomach feel a little uncomfortable. , quickly asked for hot water.FromUS$61

The homestay is near the center of the ancient city, quiet in the middle of noisy. It is very close to the four squares and super convenient.
The homestay is managed by an old couple and is well organized. There is a garden full of flowers. The room was clean and tidy and very comfortable.
Breakfast is rich, especially Badgang yogurt, very delicious.

If there are 6 stars or 7 stars, I will definitely choose it. It's a pity that there are only 5 stars! The moment I got off the car, all the fatigue of the journey disappeared instantly. The design of the hotel is so beautiful! It is located in the forest, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland, and every shot is a blockbuster. The four of us booked a three-story villa, which is very large and high-end. The housekeeper is very considerate and delicate, and the staff is warm and thoughtful, with a smile on their faces.
The encounter with guru ji Hswami Satya Shree was the luckiest thing for our trip. A person who exudes the light of God all over his body led us to hike at 5:00 in the morning and saw the light of sunrise. After the hike, he led us to traditional Nepalese yoga until 9:10 in the morning. Yoga meditation in the quiet forest made us feel calm and happy. After that, guru ji talked with us for a whole afternoon. We got very rich information from him. He is a loving and generous elder.
This is definitely the best gift in 2024. We will come again.FromUS$263

Nagarkot|1.54km from city center
Best luxury hotel in Nagarkot. Booked this hotel to celebrate my husband birthday and after our EBC Trek. We stayed 3 nights and spent our time resting in the room, watching Netflix. The room was so cozy. Bed was comfy. The hot water jacuzzi was god sent. After using the jacuzzi for 20 mins, the body felt so relaxed. I also went for their trekker massage and Gold facial. It was the best experience ever. Hot water heater works perfectly well. Breakfast was well spread with Asian and Indian fusion cruisine. The ala carte menus was god sent with so many varieties of snacks, alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, different varieties of cruisine from Asian, western. You name it, they have it. And room services can be done via online. Even guest can schedule their room cleaning services via online. Booking of massage/ facial are done via online too. Every morning, I catch the sunset at our balcony. It was so magically beautiful. Highly recommended hotel!!FromUS$108

Just like everyone says, Nagarkot truly is the perfect little escape from the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu. Even during the monsoon season, the mountain views and fresh air were incredible. At 7 AM, it was often misty and cloudy, but then the sun would pop out intermittently in the afternoon. The rain mostly fell at night, which was great for cooling things down – coming here to escape the summer heat felt like amazing value for money! We stayed for three days. We almost canceled our trip before coming because when we called the front desk, they said they hadn't seen snow-capped mountains for the past month. But to our surprise, we suddenly saw them on the afternoon of the second day! My parents were absolutely thrilled.
The room was clean, and the 1080P TV had Netflix and YouTube. The restaurant was also great! The menu had just been updated (talk about lucky, right?), with a variety of international dishes, so our 'Chinese stomachs' had no problem finding delicious food. The staff were all young and energetic; they occasionally made small mistakes, but they were incredibly attentive and took great care of us.
On our last morning, at 8 AM, I attended a sound healing session. This was my fourth time experiencing it, but the therapist at Soaltee surprised me once again – their storytelling and atmosphere creation were so powerful, truly taking us on an amazing journey.
And I absolutely have to mention the jacuzzi! We came during the monsoon, on weekdays, and in the off-season, so we often had it all to ourselves. Soaking in the hot water while looking out at the distant mountains and greenery was truly sublime!
My mom is usually very picky about holiday destinations. Before the trip, I was worried she'd find Nepal too underdeveloped. But this time, she actually took the initiative to recommend Nepal and Soaltee to her best friends! So, a huge thank you to Soaltee for making my parents' trip to Nepal anything but a wash-out, haha.
P.S. I heard Nagarkot has many great hiking trails, but with parents in their 60s, we didn't bother. We stayed at the hotel for three days and would go for a stroll every afternoon. About 20 minutes from the hotel, you can walk through nearby villages. My dad even bought a free-range chicken from a local family and had it braised and boiled at a guesthouse in town!FromUS$87

Bhaktapur was my favorite place in Nepal, and staying at this hotel made my stay even more enjoyable.
1. This was the best night I slept in Nepal. Previously, in Kathmandu, the area near the Big Stupa was very noisy at night, and in Pharping and Lumbini, there were many animal noises. This hotel was quiet despite being in a noisy area; except for the crowing of roosters in the morning, it was very peaceful.
2. It's not far from any of the squares, about a 6-10 minute walk.
3. The interior and exterior were clean and tidy, and the shower water pressure in the bathroom was strong and hot, a huge improvement over my previous stays.
4. The breakfast was simple, but the carbohydrates, protein, and fruit were well-balanced, and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
In short, I will definitely stay here again if I go to Bhaktapur.FromUS$17

I had the pleasure of staying at The Nanee, and the experience was truly excellent.
The hotel is genuinely charming, beautifully maintained, spotless, and very welcoming. You immediately feel the care and attention to detail in every corner. The staff is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and attentive; they make you feel not just like a guest, but truly cared for.
The breakfast is delicious, with great variety and quality, and the restaurant in general is excellent. The dishes are well prepared, flavorful, and served in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. The location is also perfect for getting around the city easily, making it very convenient to explore.
Last but not least, the morning tour offered by the hotel to discover local rituals and traditions is something truly unforgettable. It’s an authentic and enriching experience that allows you to connect deeply with the local culture.
To make everything even more special, there is also a lovely farewell gift, a small but meaningful gesture that leaves a lasting impression.
I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone planning to visit this beautiful and charming city.FromUS$126

This is a fabulous hotel! It is within 5 minutes walking distance to the famous world heritage site Durbar square. The hotel was beyond my expectations, the traditional design and elaborate wood carvings throughout the hotel make it very special. The rooms are thoughtfully decorated and very comfortable. The local handmade amenities in the room were made with natural ingredients and were a treat.
All my meals were excellent and the hotel has an extensive menu.

Originally, mm and I went to a 146-yuan internet celebrity hotel, but in a few minutes at the front desk, we deeply experienced the feeling of being bullied by the store.
