Currently, there are no direct nonstop flights operating between Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) and Jaipur International Airport (JAI). Travelers fly via efficient one-stop connecting routes. The most seamless single-ticket itineraries are provided by IndiGo and Air India, featuring a quick layover at Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) in New Delhi.
Because all itineraries involve a transit stop, your total travel time depends on the length of your layover:
Fastest Connecting Flights: Can get you from Kathmandu to the Pink City in approximately 6 to 8 hours total travel time (including the brief Delhi transit).
Standard Connecting Flights: Can range from 10 to 15+ hours if you select an itinerary with a longer layover or a terminal change.
Thanks to the open-border bilateral treaty between India and Nepal, the travel documentation required at the international terminal is highly simplified:
Nepali Citizens: You do not require a visa to enter India. You can clear airport immigration counters by presenting an original, valid Nepali Passport OR an original, physical Nepali Citizenship Certificate.
Indian Citizens: You can enter Nepal visa-free by producing either a valid Indian Passport OR an original Indian Election Commission Voter ID Card.
The most budget-friendly month to secure cheap flight tickets on this route is June (during the summer monsoon off-peak travel period), along with July and August. Conversely, ticket prices climb significantly during the peak winter tourist season (November to March) when Rajasthan's weather is ideal, and during major autumn holidays like Dashain and Tihar. For the best rates via Nepal Cheap Flight, booking your seats 4 weeks in advance is highly recommended.
IndiGo (Budget Carrier connecting flight): Standard international economy tickets include a checked baggage allowance of 20kg and a cabin hand-carry limit of 7kg.
Air India (Full-Service Carrier connecting flight): Generally provides a more generous checked luggage tier of 25kg to 30kg along with complimentary hot meals served during the flights.
Note: When booked as a single unified ticket, your baggage is tagged straight through to Jaipur and transfers automatically at your Delhi transit stop—you do not need to collect and re-check bags during your layover.
Jaipur International Airport (JAI) is located in the suburb of Sanganer, roughly 13 km south of the central city. Upon landing at Terminal 2, incoming passengers can easily reach major heritage landmarks—like the Hawa Mahal, City Palace, or local luxury heritage hotels—via pre-paid airport taxi ranks, auto-rickshaws, and app-based rideshares (Ola/Uber) parked right outside the arrival gates.
