Bharatpur Airport (IATA: BHR) is a small domestic airport in Bharatpur, Chitwan Province, Nepal — around 150 km southwest of Kathmandu. It's owned by the Government of Nepal and operated by the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal, with a single runway roughly 1,158 by 30 metres. The airport exists mainly to shuttle travellers in and out of nearby Chitwan National Park, Nepal's oldest national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its one-horned rhinos, Bengal tigers and jungle safaris.
Bharatpur is a domestic-only airport with flights to Nepal's two main hubs.
There are no international flights from Bharatpur — for connections beyond Nepal, travellers fly via Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport. Schedules on these short domestic hops can change seasonally, so check before booking.
Buddha Air is currently the main carrier operating scheduled services from Bharatpur.
Bharatpur has a single small terminal handling all arrivals and departures.
The airport sits close to Bharatpur town, with taxis available outside the terminal for the short ride into town or on to the lodges around Sauraha, the main gateway village to Chitwan National Park. Many resorts also arrange their own transfers for guests.
As a small regional airport, expect basic facilities — a compact waiting area rather than the shops and lounges of a major international hub.
