Darwin to Kathmandu Flights | Cheap Airfares & Fast Booking

Distance: ~6,600 km. Darwin is the closest Australian city to Nepal. The route is dominated by Singapore Airlines and JetStar/Qantas.

The "Singapore Loop"

Most Darwin travelers fly to Singapore and then to KTM. This is a very efficient 4.5-hour + 5-hour flight sequence.

JetStar Asia Connections

If flying JetStar to Singapore, you can often connect to a variety of Indian or Nepalese carriers for the final leg.

Humidity Shield

You'll be moving from Darwin's tropical humidity to Kathmandu's dry mountain air. Keep lip balm and moisturizer in your carry-on; your skin will feel the change immediately.

Midnight Departures

Many DRW-SIN flights leave around 3:00 AM. Plan your sleep the day before to avoid being "zombie-like" during your Singapore transit.

Baggage "Safe" in SIN

Singapore Changi is one of the world's safest places for baggage. If you have a long layover, use the "Baggage Storage" counters to explore the city unencumbered.

The Northern Flight Path

You will fly over the Indonesian archipelago; window seats on the left side offer great views of volcanic peaks during the day.

Malaria Precaution

If you live in Darwin, you're used to mozzies, but Nepal's Terai region has different strains. Consult a Darwin travel clinic for Nepal-specific advice.
