Canberra to Kathmandu Flights | Cheap Airfares & Fast Booking

Distance: ~9,700 km. As the capital, Canberra has the unique advantage of housing the Nepalese Embassy, making it the best place for pre-departure paperwork.

Embassy Walk-ins

You can visit the Embassy of Nepal in O'Malley. Getting your visa here (AUD $50 for 30 days) means you can walk straight to the "Visa Holders" line in Kathmandu, which is much faster.

The "Domestic Hop" Risk

Almost all CBR-KTM flights involve a flight to SYD or MEL first. Ensure you have at least 3 hours between your Canberra landing and your international departure.

Qatar Airways direct from CBR

Check for the 2026 schedule of Qatar Airways flying directly out of CBR (often via a tag-flight through Sydney/Melbourne).

Parking vs. Bus

For long trips, the "Murrays" bus to Sydney Airport is often cheaper than parking at CBR for 3 weeks.

Weight Restrictions

Small aircraft (Link Airways/QantasLink) out of CBR sometimes have stricter carry-on weight enforcement.

Cold Start

Canberra winters are colder than Kathmandu winters. Don't over-pack "heavy" clothes for the flight; wear your trek jacket onto the plane to save bag space.

Time zone Sync

CBR and KTM have a 4.25 to 5.25-hour gap. Use the flight to adjust your sleep schedule early.
