Well that depends where you’re planning to head. Downtown Kathmandu, about 3 miles from Kathmandu Airport (KTM-Tribhuvan Intl.), can be a little daunting to drive in. Make life easier by booking something compact, fuel-efficient, and a cinch to handle. That said, Kathmandu is an excellent base to explore some of the mountains in Nepal. If your journey is more about cruising down long stretches of road, you may want something with a bit more trunk space and room to move about. How about an SUV or a full-size car?
