On my departure I realised the full horror of CGK. There are virtually no seats, leaving passengers to sit around on the floor, & on their baggage. – Adam C.
JKR Airport Overview
To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down about what to expect during your time at Janakpur Airport (code: JKR).
What to Expect
This is a ramshackle little airport terminal and airstrip, served by commuter and military flights to and from Kathmandu.
Sleeping in Janakpur Airport
There are a few benches inside this tiny airport terminal, but their proximity to the airport’s toilets makes this an unpleasant “fragrant” option for sleeping. If weather permits and you feel safe doing so, you can camp on airport property. Have a sleeping bag or travel mat and blanket handy for added warmth and comfort! For uninterrupted sleep, there are hotels near the airport. See Airport Hotels in the guide below, or read traveller airport reviews for more tips.
