Kathmandu to Singapore Flight Information

Flying is the only way to get from Kathmandu to Singapore. There is no road or rail route between Nepal and Singapore, and a non-stop flight covers the distance in around 5 hours.

Singapore Airlines is the only carrier operating this route non-stop, with one departure every day between Tribhuvan International Airport and Singapore Changi Airport. Because there is a single direct flight, the fare on it moves sharply from one day to the next, and connecting services are often cheaper. A wide range of connections is available through Delhi, Mumbai, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Colombo, Guangzhou and Kunming.

Compare the non-stop flight against every connecting option side by side and book your Kathmandu to Singapore ticket on Trip Turbo. Your e-ticket arrives by email as soon as payment is confirmed.

Is There a Direct Flight from Kathmandu to Singapore?

Yes. Singapore Airlines operates SQ441 non-stop every day of the week, departing Kathmandu at 22:50 and arriving at Changi at 06:15 the following morning. Flight time is around 5 hours.

It is the only direct flight, so if it is full or expensive on your date there is no second non-stop option. That matters here because the fare on that single flight ranged from Rs. 35,556 to Rs. 71,305 across one week. On most days a connecting itinerary is cheaper than the non-stop flight, though it costs you between three and twenty extra hours. The comparison is set out below so you can decide which suits your date.

Kathmandu to Singapore Airfare and Flight Details

Flights from Kathmandu to Singapore depart from Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) and land at Singapore Changi Airport (SIN). Seven non-stop departures operate each week, one a day with Singapore Airlines, alongside a large number of connecting itineraries through Asian hubs.

Kathmandu to Singapore Airfare

Non-stop one-way economy fares ranged from Rs. 35,556 to Rs. 71,305 for a single adult across the week checked, depending far more on the day you travel than on how far ahead you book. Connecting itineraries were steadier, starting from Rs. 36,475 with IndiGo on every day of the week. The table below shows the lowest fare each airline offered and the date it was available, so you can see which dates the figures come from.

Airline	Lowest Fare	Date Available	Service	Type
Singapore Airlines	Rs. 35,556	23 Sep 2026	Non-stop	Full-service
IndiGo	Rs. 36,475	20 Sep 2026	Connecting via Delhi or Mumbai	Low-cost
Air India	Rs. 41,682	20 Sep 2026	Connecting via Delhi	Full-service
SriLankan Airlines	Rs. 45,087	21 Sep 2026	Connecting via Colombo	Full-service
Thai Airways	Rs. 48,242	20 Sep 2026	Connecting via Bangkok	Full-service
Thai Lion Air	Rs. 49,156	23 Sep 2026	Connecting via Don Mueang	Low-cost
China Southern	Rs. 49,470	20 Sep 2026	Connecting via Guangzhou	Full-service
Malaysia Airlines	Rs. 55,658	20 Sep 2026	Connecting via Kuala Lumpur	Full-service
China Eastern	Rs. 55,928	20 Sep 2026	Connecting via Kunming	Full-service
Sichuan Airlines	Rs. 64,775	20 Sep 2026	Connecting via Chengdu	Full-service

Non-Stop Fare by Day

With only one direct flight a day, the day you travel has a bigger effect on the non-stop price than anything else. These were the lowest available non-stop fares across one week, alongside the cheapest fare of any kind on the same date:

Day	Date	Lowest Non-Stop Fare	Cheapest Fare That Day
Wednesday	23 Sep 2026	Rs. 35,556	Rs. 35,556 (non-stop)
Thursday	24 Sep 2026	Rs. 35,556	Rs. 35,556 (non-stop)
Tuesday	22 Sep 2026	Rs. 40,771	Rs. 36,475 (IndiGo)
Monday	21 Sep 2026	Rs. 40,934	Rs. 36,475 (IndiGo)
Friday	25 Sep 2026	Rs. 41,072	Rs. 36,475 (IndiGo)
Saturday	26 Sep 2026	Rs. 46,079	Rs. 36,475 (IndiGo)
Sunday	20 Sep 2026	Rs. 71,305	Rs. 36,475 (IndiGo)

The same seat on the same flight cost twice as much on Sunday as on Wednesday. The reason is availability rather than a different price list: on busier days the cheaper Economy Lite and Economy Value fares sell out, leaving only Economy Standard or Economy Flexi.

The non-stop flight was the cheapest option on two days out of seven. On the other five, IndiGo at Rs. 36,475 was lower, though it takes at least 16 hours against 5 for the direct flight. If your dates are flexible, checking a neighbouring day is the single biggest saving available on this route.

It is worth knowing how the fare is made up. On the cheapest non-stop ticket the base fare is Rs. 27,809 and taxes and surcharges add Rs. 7,747, so taxes account for roughly 22 percent of the total. That is a smaller share than on shorter regional routes, where tax can exceed 60 percent of the ticket.

If you are returning to Kathmandu, book both legs in a single round-trip transaction. It is usually cheaper than two separate one-way tickets and keeps the whole journey under one booking reference.

Fares and schedules verified across seven consecutive days, 20 to 26 September 2026. Fares change daily and are subject to availability at the time of booking.

Fare Options on Trip Turbo

Trip Turbo shows you every fare option an airline sells on a flight, which most local online travel agencies in Nepal do not. Instead of a single price, you see the full set of branded fares side by side before you pay.

They are the same flight, the same aircraft and the same seat. What changes are the conditions attached to the ticket: how much it costs to cancel, how much it costs to move your travel date, and how much checked baggage is included. A cheaper fare usually comes with stricter rules, while a higher one buys flexibility and extra baggage. Each option lays out those conditions clearly at the point of selection, so you are never guessing what you have paid for.

This matters more than usual on a route with a single daily flight, where the gap between the cheapest and dearest fare option on that one service is substantial. Seeing all four side by side makes it easier to choose the right fare for your Kathmandu to Singapore flight, rather than discovering the rules after you have already booked.

Flight Details for Kathmandu to Singapore

The non-stop service is operated by Singapore Airlines from the International Terminal at Tribhuvan International Airport, arriving at Singapore Changi Airport. The aircraft and departure time vary by day of the week.

Airline	Non-Stop Flights per Week	Days
Singapore Airlines	7	Daily
Total	7

Full Non-Stop Timetable

Flight	Airline	Departs KTM	Arrives SIN	Aircraft	Days
SQ441	Singapore Airlines	22:50	06:15 next day	Boeing 737 MAX 8	Sun, Tue, Thu, Sat
SQ441	Singapore Airlines	23:10	06:15 next day	Boeing 787	Mon, Wed, Fri

On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays SQ441 departs 20 minutes later at 23:10 and operates a Boeing 787, which shortens the flight to 4 hours 50 minutes. On the other four days it leaves at 22:50 on a Boeing 737 MAX 8 and takes 5 hours 10 minutes. Both arrive at Changi at 06:15.

Why the arrival time looks wrong. Singapore is 2 hours 15 minutes ahead of Nepal. SQ441 shows 22:50 to 06:15, which reads as 7 hours 25 minutes on the clock, but the actual flight is 5 hours 10 minutes. Subtract 2 hours 15 minutes from any clock calculation on this route.

Book three to five weeks ahead for the lowest fares, and arrive at the airport three hours before departure. International departures involve manual document checks, immigration and multiple security screenings, so two hours is not enough during peak season.

Kathmandu to Singapore Flight Connectivity

This route has one non-stop flight a day and a very large number of connecting options, so it is worth understanding both before you book.

Non-stop gets you there in around 5 hours, overnight, every day. There is no morning or daytime direct service, and no second flight if yours is full.

Connecting itineraries run through Delhi, Mumbai, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Colombo, Guangzhou, Kunming, Chengdu, Hong Kong and Don Mueang, with around 55 options available on a typical day. The fastest of them:

Routing	Airline	Fastest Journey	Cheapest Fare
Via Kuala Lumpur	Malaysia Airlines	8 hours 5 minutes	Rs. 55,658
Via Bangkok	Thai Airways	8 hours 35 minutes	Rs. 48,242
Via Delhi	Air India	9 hours 50 minutes	Rs. 41,682
Via Guangzhou	China Southern	10 hours 45 minutes	Rs. 49,470
Via Delhi or Mumbai	IndiGo	16 hours 20 minutes	Rs. 36,475

The honest summary is that it depends on your travel date and on what you value. IndiGo is the cheapest option on five days out of seven, but its quickest routing still takes over 16 hours. Air India via Delhi costs a little more and gets you there in under 10 hours. Thai Airways and Malaysia Airlines are the fastest connections at around 8 hours, roughly three hours longer than flying direct. On the days when the non-stop drops to Rs. 35,556 it beats all of them on both price and time, so always compare before booking.

Check transit visa rules before booking a connection. Routings through mainland China may require a Chinese transit visa for Nepali passport holders depending on the airport and layover length. Connections through India, Thailand, Malaysia and Sri Lanka have their own transit conditions. Confirm the current position with the airline before you book.

Kathmandu to Singapore Flights Fare

Non-stop fares ranged from Rs. 35,556 to Rs. 71,305 one way in economy across the week checked, and connecting fares from Rs. 36,475. Booking three to five weeks in advance keeps you at the lower end, and booking inside seven days of departure pushes fares towards the top.

Fares also rise around Dashain, Tihar and Chhath, around Chinese New Year and Hari Raya in Singapore, and during university intake periods. If you are travelling in one of those windows, book several weeks earlier than usual.

Baggage affects the total cost less on this route than on some others, because Singapore Airlines includes 25 kg even on its cheapest Economy Lite fare. The bigger variable is which day you fly.

How to Check Your Kathmandu to Singapore Flight Status

Departure times and fares change daily. For live availability and same-day flight status, search your exact travel date on Trip Turbo, or check with Singapore Airlines directly using your flight number. Changi Airport publishes live arrival information on its website and operates a general hotline on +65 6595 6868.

Airlines Flying from Kathmandu to Singapore

One airline operates this route non-stop. Several more sell connecting itineraries, and on most dates those are cheaper.

Singapore Airlines Kathmandu to Singapore Flights

Singapore Airlines is the only carrier flying Kathmandu to Singapore non-stop, operating SQ441 every day of the week. On Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays it departs at 22:50 on a Boeing 737 MAX 8 and takes 5 hours 10 minutes. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays it departs at 23:10 on a Boeing 787 and takes 4 hours 50 minutes. Both arrive at Changi at 06:15 the following morning.

As a full-service carrier the fare includes meals, seat selection and a generous baggage allowance. Singapore Airlines sells four economy fares on this route. Economy Lite is the cheapest at Rs. 35,556 with 25 kg of checked baggage, Economy Value adds flexibility, and Economy Standard and Economy Flexi raise the allowance to 30 kg with progressively easier change and cancellation rules. Economy Lite sells out first, which is why the cheapest available fare varies so widely by day.

Other Airlines Flying from Kathmandu to Singapore

Your search results will also show IndiGo, Air India, Thai Airways, Malaysia Airlines, SriLankan Airlines, China Southern, China Eastern, Sichuan Airlines, Thai Lion Air, Batik Air, Nepal Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Air China. None of these fly Kathmandu to Singapore directly. They route through a hub first, most commonly Delhi, Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur, and connect onward to Singapore from there.

These options matter on this route more than on most, because there is only one direct flight a day and it is often not the cheapest. IndiGo held the lowest fare on five of the seven days checked. The fastest connections, Malaysia Airlines and Thai Airways, add only about three hours to the journey.

Kathmandu to Singapore Airport Information

Flights on this route depart from Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu and arrive at Singapore Changi Airport, consistently rated among the best airports in the world.

Tribhuvan International Airport Facilities

Tribhuvan International Airport is Nepal's only international airport. The international terminal has duty-free shopping, restaurants and cafes, currency exchange counters, ATMs, prayer rooms and airline lounges. Duty-free is located after immigration and before the final security check. The international and domestic terminals sit about 500 metres apart and are connected by a free shuttle bus, so check which one you need before you set off.

Singapore Changi Airport Facilities

Changi is one of the largest and most awarded airports in the world, with four passenger terminals connected by a free Skytrain and walkways. Facilities include extensive duty-free shopping, hundreds of restaurants, free wifi, lounges, shower and nap facilities, currency exchange, ATMs, prayer rooms and medical services. Jewel Changi, attached to Terminal 1, houses the Rain Vortex indoor waterfall, gardens, shops and restaurants, and is open to arriving and departing passengers alike.

Departure Process at Tribhuvan International Airport

Check-in counters open around four hours before departure and close one hour before. After your baggage has been checked, all departing passengers must complete an embarkation card in the immigration area before proceeding into the departure hall. Hand baggage is X-rayed again before the final departure area.

Carry your passport and your SG Arrival Card confirmation for inspection at check-in. A maximum of three people may accompany a passenger into the international terminal.

Arrival and Onward Connections at Singapore Changi Airport

SQ441 lands at 06:15, so you arrive early in the morning. Proceed to immigration, where Singapore authorities verify your passport and SG Arrival Card submission. Singapore uses automated clearance for most travellers, and the process is usually quick. Collect your checked baggage, then pass through customs into the arrivals hall.

The MRT from Changi begins running at around 05:30, so it is available by the time you clear immigration. Taxis, ride-hailing services and airport shuttles operate 24 hours. The city centre is roughly 20 to 30 minutes away.

Changi is one of Asia's largest transfer hubs and the main gateway for Nepali travellers heading further east and south. Popular onward destinations from Singapore include:

Australia and New Zealand: Sydney (SYD), Melbourne (MEL), Brisbane (BNE), Auckland (AKL), Christchurch (CHC) and Wellington (WLG)
East Asia: Tokyo Narita (NRT), Tokyo Haneda (HND), Seoul (ICN), Shanghai (SHA), Beijing (BJS) and Guangzhou (CAN)
Southeast Asia: Bali (DPS), Jakarta (CGK), Kuala Lumpur (KUL) and Bangkok (BKK)

Because SQ441 lands at 06:15, most of these onward flights are available the same day, which makes Singapore a practical single-stop route to Australia, New Zealand and East Asia from Kathmandu.

If you are connecting, check whether your baggage is checked through to your final destination. Passengers travelling on two separate bookings must clear immigration and customs first, then check in again, so allow at least four hours between flights.

Baggage Information

Singapore Airlines includes a generous checked allowance even on its cheapest fare, which is unusual on Kathmandu international routes. Carry a valid passport with you at all times and arrive at the airport three hours before departure to allow for international check-in.

How much baggage can I carry on my Kathmandu to Singapore flight?

On the non-stop flight you can carry 25 kg of checked baggage on the two cheaper Singapore Airlines fares and 30 kg on the two higher ones, plus one cabin piece. Connecting airlines vary widely, from 35 kg with Air India Eco Flex and Malaysia Airlines Flex down to no free checked baggage at all with Thai Lion Air. Allowances by airline and fare class are set out below.

Singapore Airlines Baggage Information

Singapore Airlines allows one cabin piece per passenger. Checked baggage depends on the fare class booked:

Fare Class	Free Check-in Baggage Allowance
Economy Lite	25 kg
Economy Value	25 kg
Economy Standard	30 kg
Economy Flexi	30 kg

The lowest fares sold on this route are Economy Lite, which still carry 25 kg. That is more than the standard economy allowance on several other Kathmandu international routes.

Baggage Allowance on Connecting Airlines

Several airlines sell connecting itineraries on this route, and allowances vary considerably. The figures below are the allowances offered on the Kathmandu to Singapore itineraries these airlines sell.

Airline	Fare Class	Checked Baggage	Cabin Baggage
Air India	Eco Flex	35 kg	7 kg
Malaysia Airlines	Flex	35 kg	1 piece
Air India	Eco Classic	30 kg	7 kg
IndiGo	All fares	30 kg	7 kg
Nepal Airlines	Economy	30 kg	1 piece
Batik Air	Flexi	30 kg	7 kg
SriLankan Airlines	Economy	25 to 30 kg	1 piece
Air India	Eco Value	25 kg	7 kg
Malaysia Airlines	Basic	25 kg	1 piece
Batik Air	Super Saver and Value	20 kg	7 kg
Cathay Pacific	Economy Essential and Flex	2 pieces	1 piece
Air China	All economy fares	2 pieces	1 piece
Cathay Pacific	Economy Light	1 piece	1 piece
China Southern	Economy	1 piece	1 piece
China Eastern	All economy fares	1 piece	1 piece
Sichuan Airlines	Economy	1 piece	1 piece
Thai Airways	Economy	1 piece	7 kg
Thai Lion Air	Economy	None included	7 kg

A note on piece-based allowances. Airlines routing through China, Hong Kong and Bangkok often express baggage in pieces rather than kilograms. A piece is normally capped at 23 kg in economy, but the exact limit varies by airline, so check the weight allowed per piece on your booking before you pack. Where an allowance is shown in kilograms it is a total across all bags.

Thai Lion Air includes no free checked baggage on this route. If you are comparing its fare against others, add the cost of a checked bag before deciding.

Which Airline Offers the Best Baggage Value

The non-stop flight is a strong baggage option at the low end. Singapore Airlines Economy Lite at Rs. 35,556 includes 25 kg, which is more than Thai Airways or Thai Lion Air offer at similar or higher connecting fares. IndiGo is the exception among the cheaper options, including 30 kg on every fare it sells.

If you are carrying a lot of luggage, Air India Eco Flex and Malaysia Airlines Flex both allow 35 kg, the most on the route, and Singapore Airlines Economy Standard allows 30 kg. Buying a higher fare class is almost always cheaper than paying excess baggage per kilogram at the airport, so work out your total weight before you book rather than at the check-in counter.

Security Check-in

The following items are not permitted in cabin baggage on international flights:

Knives, scissors and any sharp or bladed object
Firearms, ammunition and imitation weapons
Explosives, fireworks and flammable liquids or gases
Liquids, gels and aerosols in containers of 100 ml or less, which must be carried in a single transparent resealable bag
Containers larger than 100 ml, which must go in checked luggage
Tools such as hammers, drills and wrenches
Sporting equipment including bats, clubs and cues
Corrosive or toxic substances

Power banks and spare lithium batteries must be carried in hand baggage only and must never be packed in checked luggage.

The 100 ml liquid rule applies to international flights and does not apply to domestic Nepali routes, so pack accordingly if you are used to flying within Nepal. Singapore also enforces strict rules on prohibited items including chewing gum for sale, e-cigarettes and vaping devices, which are illegal to bring into the country.

Documents Required for Kathmandu to Singapore Flight

A passport is mandatory for every passenger on this route regardless of age. Nepali citizens do not need a visa for short visits, but every traveller must submit a digital arrival card before landing. Airlines check both at the counter.

Documents Required for Nepali Adults

Nepali adult passengers must carry all of the following:

A valid passport with at least six months' validity from the date of entry into Singapore
A submitted SG Arrival Card
A confirmed return or onward flight ticket
Proof of accommodation and sufficient funds for your stay, if requested by immigration

Make sure the name on your booking matches your passport exactly, or you may be refused at check-in.

Documents Required for Children

Children travelling to Singapore must carry all of the following:

A valid passport with at least six months' validity
A submitted SG Arrival Card in their own name
A confirmed flight ticket, and consent documents where a child travels without both parents

Documents Required for Infants

Infants must carry all of the following:

A valid passport
A submitted SG Arrival Card in their own name
A confirmed flight booking issued in the infant's name

Confirm infant travel requirements with the airline before departure, as these vary by carrier.

Singapore Visa Requirements for Nepali Travellers

Nepali citizens do not need a visa to visit Singapore for stays of up to 30 days. Entry is granted on arrival provided you hold a valid passport, a submitted SG Arrival Card, a confirmed return or onward ticket and sufficient funds for your stay.

Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your date of entry and should have blank pages for immigration stamps. Immigration officers may ask to see your return ticket, accommodation booking and evidence of funds, so have them accessible rather than packed in checked baggage.

A visa is required for stays longer than 30 days, and for travel for work, study or long-term residence. Entry requirements can change, so verify the current position with Singapore's Immigration and Checkpoints Authority before you book if your circumstances are unusual.

SG Arrival Card

Every traveller entering Singapore must submit the SG Arrival Card online before arrival. This is separate from visa requirements, and visa-free entry does not exempt you from it.

Submit it within 3 days before your arrival in Singapore
It is free and takes only a few minutes to complete
It includes a health declaration alongside your travel details
Complete it only on the official portal at eservices.ica.gov.sg/sgarrivalcard, or through the MyICA mobile app. Other websites may charge a fee for a form that is free
Save or screenshot the confirmation you receive after submitting
The SG Arrival Card is not a visa. It only collects your arrival details in advance

Complete it before you leave for the airport. Failing to submit it can delay your immigration clearance at Changi.

Travelling to Singapore for Work

Singapore hosts a Nepali community working across construction, hospitality, security and services. If you are travelling for employment, the requirements are different from those for a tourist.

Visa-free entry does not permit you to work in Singapore. Employment requires a valid work pass arranged by your Singaporean employer before you travel, and a labour permit (Shram Swikriti) issued by Nepal's Department of Foreign Employment before you leave. Travelling on a visitor entry with the intention of working can result in refused entry at Changi.

Check the current position with the Department of Foreign Employment and use only a DoFE-licensed recruitment agency. The Nepal Embassy in Singapore can assist Nepali citizens once they arrive.

Places to Visit in Kathmandu

Kathmandu packs an extraordinary amount into one valley. Kathmandu Durbar Square and Patan Durbar Square hold centuries of Newari architecture, while Swayambhunath and Boudhanath are two of the most important Buddhist sites in the country. Pashupatinath Temple sits on the banks of the Bagmati and is Nepal's holiest Hindu shrine. Thamel is the place for shopping, food and last-minute trekking gear.

Places to Visit in Singapore

Singapore packs a great deal into a small island. Marina Bay Sands and its SkyPark observation deck define the skyline, and Gardens by the Bay next door houses the Supertree Grove and two vast climate-controlled conservatories. Sentosa covers beaches, Universal Studios and cable cars, while Merlion Park is the classic photograph.

For a different pace, Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Glam each hold their own food, temples and shophouses, the Singapore Botanic Gardens is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Orchard Road is the main shopping street. Jewel Changi at the airport is worth time in its own right.

Weather in Kathmandu

Kathmandu has a mild climate year round thanks to its valley setting at around 1,400 metres. Summers are warm rather than hot, winters are cool but rarely freezing, and the monsoon between June and September brings most of the annual rainfall. Carry a light jacket even in summer, because evenings cool down quickly.

Weather in Singapore

Singapore sits just north of the equator and stays hot and humid all year, with daytime temperatures typically between 25 and 32 degrees Celsius and almost no seasonal variation. Rain falls throughout the year, heaviest during the northeast monsoon from November to January, usually as short intense downpours rather than all-day rain. Any month works for a visit, but pack light clothing, an umbrella and something warm for heavily air-conditioned malls and trains.

About Kathmandu

Kathmandu is Nepal's capital and its only international gateway. The valley has been a centre of trade, art and pilgrimage for well over a thousand years, and it remains the political, commercial and cultural heart of the country. Every international journey into or out of Nepal begins here.

Best Time to Fly Kathmandu

The most comfortable months to fly to Kathmandu are October to November and March to April, when skies are clear and temperatures are mild. Avoid the monsoon months from June to September if you can, since cloud cover and rain cause more frequent delays.

Major Airlines Flying to Kathmandu

Singapore Airlines is the only airline operating a non-stop service between Kathmandu and Singapore. Travellers wanting a lower fare or a different departure time can also fly with IndiGo, Air India, Thai Airways or Malaysia Airlines via a connection.

About Singapore

Singapore is a city-state at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula and one of Asia's leading financial, shipping and aviation centres. It is compact, efficient and multicultural, with Chinese, Malay, Indian and Peranakan communities that show most clearly in the food. For Nepali travellers it is both a destination in its own right and one of the region's busiest onward connection points.

How to reach Singapore

There is no road or rail route between Nepal and Singapore, so flying is the only option.

Singapore by Air

The non-stop flight from Kathmandu takes around 5 hours and lands at Singapore Changi Airport at 06:15 in the morning, operating daily with Singapore Airlines. Connecting services through Delhi, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Colombo and Chinese hubs run throughout the day and night, with the fastest adding around three hours to the journey.

What to do in Singapore

Start at Marina Bay, where the Gardens by the Bay light show, the Merlion and the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark sit within walking distance of each other. Spend a morning in Chinatown and an evening on Sentosa. Food is the main event: hawker centres such as Maxwell, Lau Pa Sat and Old Airport Road serve some of the best cheap food in Asia. The MRT reaches almost everything quickly and cheaply, and the whole island can be crossed in under an hour.

Major Airports in and near Singapore

Singapore Changi Airport is the country's main airport, around 20 km from the city centre, with four passenger terminals connected by a free Skytrain. All flights from Kathmandu arrive here. Seletar Airport in the north-east handles regional turboprop and private aviation.

Changi is the main hub for onward travel to Australia, New Zealand, East Asia and the rest of Southeast Asia, with the most popular destinations listed in the arrivals section above. Book your Kathmandu to Singapore flight on Trip Turbo and compare the non-stop flight against every connecting option in one place.

Frequently Asked Questions – Kathmandu to Singapore Flights

How do I go from Kathmandu to Singapore?

Flying is the only option, as there is no road or rail route between Nepal and Singapore. Singapore Airlines operates one non-stop flight daily, taking around 5 hours. Connecting services through Delhi, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and other hubs are also available and are often cheaper.

How long is the flight from Kathmandu to Singapore?

The non-stop flight takes 5 hours 10 minutes on the Boeing 737 MAX 8, or 4 hours 50 minutes on the Boeing 787 that operates on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
