        "question": "How do I get to Tribhuvan Intl Airport from the city center?",
        "answer": "Tribhuvan International Airport is about 6 km east of central Kathmandu and the Thamel tourist district, so the journey is short but often slowed by heavy traffic. Pre-paid taxis booked at the terminal counter are the most popular and reliable option, while ride-share apps like Pathao and Tootle offer a slightly cheaper alternative. There is no dedicated airport shuttle bus from the city center, but public buses and microbuses run along the Ring Road near the airport, though they are less convenient with luggage. Driving yourself is possible but parking at the airport is limited, so a taxi or ride-share is generally the fastest and most practical choice.",
