Options for overnight layover in Delhi
I'm travelling to Kathmandu and most of my flight options include an overnight layover in Delhi, with an early morning flight out to Nepal.
What are my options for finding somewhere to sleep? It's only 8 hours, so going into Delhi probably isn't practical.

Refer to this link for options for sleeping in New Delhi airport.
Where to Sleep
- T3’s Airside has plenty of options to stretch out if you can grab a spot. Look for the couches in the main shopping area. There’s plenty of seats with and without armrests, and carpet in most spots.
- It never totally quiets down with so many overnight flights, so bring those earplugs and eye masks.
- A few travellers report airport staff asking them to move from the carpeted floor.
- For uninterrupted sleep, there is a transit hotel and sleeping pods inside the airport and several hotels are located nearby. See Airport Hotels in the airport guide below.
