  "connection_tips": "Tulsipur Airport (DNP), also commonly known as Dang Airport, is the primary aviation hub for the Dang Valley in the Lumbini Province of Nepal. For travelers connecting through DNP, the most important tip is its proximity to the major regional centers; the terminal is just 5 kilometers from Tulsipur and about 23 kilometers (a 45-minute drive) from the district headquarters in Ghorahi. Ground transportation is readily available outside the arrivals hall, with local taxis and auto-rickshaws being the standard choice for the quick trip to Tulsipur. If you are heading to Ghorahi, you can either take a direct taxi or a more economical local bus from the main road near the airport entrance.\n\nThe airport is primarily served by Nepal Airlines, providing domestic links to Kathmandu (KTM) and Nepalgunj (KEP). A critical connection tip is to account for the airport's high sensitivity to weather; situated in a valley, flights are frequently delayed or canceled due to low visibility, ground fog, or high winds, especially during the monsoon (June to September). It is highly recommended to build at least one 'buffer day' into your return itinerary to avoid missing international connections in Kathmandu.\n\nWithin the terminal, amenities are basic, featuring a simple waiting area and a small refreshment kiosk. Security and check-in are manual processes, so arriving at least 90 minutes before your domestic departure is wise. Lastly, carry sufficient Nepali Rupees in cash for local transport and minor expenses, as reliable international ATMs are virtually non-existent at the terminal building and rare in the surrounding rural area.",

  "terminal_info": "Tulsipur Airport (DNP), also commonly known as Tulsipur Airport or Dang Airport, is a domestic facility serving the Dang District in the Lumbini Province of Nepal. Located approximately 23 kilometers west of the district headquarters in Ghorahi, the airport provides a vital air link for the Rapti region. It features a recently bituminous paved (asphalt concrete) runway measuring approximately 750 meters, which is specifically designed to accommodate STOL (Short Take-off and Landing) aircraft such as the Twin Otter and Dornier.\n\nThe terminal infrastructure is characteristic of small-scale domestic airfields in Nepal, consisting of a single-story building that houses the main waiting area, a small check-in desk, and basic administrative offices for the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN). Facilities are rudimentary, and travelers should not expect to find retail shops, restaurants, or dedicated lounges within the terminal. A small tea stall or kiosk may be available outside the main building for basic refreshments, and simple restroom facilities are provided for passengers. Security procedures are conducted manually by local police and airport staff, aligning with domestic safety standards.\n\nScheduled air services are primarily provided by Nepal Airlines, the national flag carrier, which operates multiple flights per week connecting Tulsipur with Kathmandu and Nepalgunj. Because the airport is situated in the Dang valley, flights are highly sensitive to weather conditions, with morning operations being the most reliable to avoid afternoon winds and fog. Ground transportation to Tulsipur city center and Ghorahi is mainly provided by local taxis and buses, which can be found on the nearby Rapti Highway. Travelers are strongly advised to confirm their flight status in advance, as schedules frequently change based on aircraft availability and regional demand.",
