Flights to Dharān
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Dharān is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Biratnagar Airport (BIR), 37 km (23 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 4,937 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Taplejung Airport (TPJ, 72 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Biratnagar Airport (regional) | BIR | 37 km (23 mi) | 4,937 ft | 236 ft |
| Taplejung Airport (regional) | TPJ | 72 km (45 mi) | 2,313 ft | 7,990 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 4,937 ft, BIR handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 236 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
