Remote gateway serving Nepal's Dang district in the Terai region.

Location

Tulsipur, Nepal

Tulsipur Airport, with IATA code DNP and ICAO code VNDG, is a small domestic airport serving Tulsipur, the administrative center of Dang District in the Terai lowlands of western Nepal. The airport provides vital air connectivity to a region that is otherwise dependent on road travel through challenging terrain. The airport handles limited scheduled domestic operations, primarily serving passengers traveling between Dang and Kathmandu. Given Nepal's mountainous geography and underdeveloped road infrastructure in many areas, small airports like Tulsipur play an important role in regional accessibility. The facility is modest in size and capacity, typical of Nepal's many rural domestic airports managed under the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN). Flights are subject to weather conditions, and operations can be limited during the monsoon season.

Traveller Tips

Confirm your flight status directly with your airline well in advance as schedules at small Nepali airports can change with short notice.
Carry sufficient Nepali rupees as ATM availability in Dang is limited and card payments are rarely accepted.
Arrive at least one hour before departure as security and check-in processes, while simple, can be unpredictable at rural airports.
The Dang Valley has warm summers and cool winters, so pack layers if travelling between October and February.
