Terminal amenities are minimal, consisting of basic waiting areas with protection from mountain weather, simple restroom facilities, and coordination for ground transportation to regional destinations. No commercial lounges, restaurants, or retail facilities are available due to the extremely remote location and challenging mountain access. Accessibility is limited to basic ground-level access. Family facilities are basic, with simple seating areas and restroom access, as the airport primarily serves essential transportation for local residents accessing government services and connecting to national networks rather than tourism, providing vital aviation connectivity for one of Nepal's most remote and mountainous districts requiring specialized mountain flying expertise.
