About Pokhara Airport
Overview
Pokhara Airport serves the tourism and transportation needs of Pokhara, a major city in central Nepal. Located at an elevation of 2712 feet mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure in the Himalayan region. The airport supports regional connectivity and serves as a key gateway for travelers accessing the scenic Pokhara Valley.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 2712 ft MSL places it in a mountainous environment with potentially challenging meteorological conditions. Pilots should anticipate significant variations in weather patterns typical of Nepal's topographical landscape. Seasonal wind shifts and potential orographic effects can substantially impact flight operations at this altitude.
Notable Features
Situated at coordinates 28.200621, 83.981203, Pokhara Airport is positioned in a complex mountain terrain environment. The single runway 04/22 measures 4720 feet in length and is surfaced with asphalt, providing a moderate operational surface for regional aircraft. The surrounding mountainous geography requires heightened situational awareness and precise navigation techniques.
Approach Considerations
Runway 04/22 offers a single directional approach option with its 4720-foot asphalt surface. Pilots must carefully consider terrain, elevation, and potential wind conditions when planning arrivals and departures. The airport's mountain location demands careful preflight planning and potentially more conservative approach and landing strategies compared to lower-elevation airports.
