Tribhuvan Airport, Kathmandu at Nepal is a basic airport. It fulfills its task - letting passengers arrive and take off - that's it. Large improvement since the last time I was here a couple of years back. Its cleaner. Toilets seem cleaner, and immigration more efficient. In general staff seem more professional.
There are just 2 duty free shops selling everything at exorbitent inflated prices. The other 2 duty free shops selling alcohol are closed. They still have the closure notices dated June 08 giving no reason for closure or when they would reopen.
The baggage takes endless time to come.
The touts outside can be pretty annoying. You will be astounded at the mob of people shouting and trying to take your bag to a cab. Just be firm in saying 'No'.
The VIP lounge is comfortable with a TV telecasting all Indian channels. No special facilities - just drinking water but comfortable chairs.
Rating for Kathmandu Airport: 4/10
