Most itineraries from Penang to Nepal connect via Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join a free transit tour into the city, subject to timing and eligibility, or relax in terminals featuring indoor gardens, art installations, and quiet rest areas. Shorter layovers can be spent enjoying airport amenities such as showers, nap zones, children’s play areas, and a wide choice of dining and shopping, all connected by efficient skytrains. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Penang follows Malaysia Time (UTC+8). Nepal, including Kathmandu, uses Nepal Time (UTC+5:45). This means Kathmandu is 2 hours 15 minutes behind Penang throughout the year, as neither location observes daylight saving time.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in Nepal when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to Nepal, subject to your ticket conditions and availability. When booking, you can search for multi-city options or speak with our customer service team or your travel agent, who can advise whether a stopover can be added to your itinerary.
