About Bharatpur Airport
Bharatpur Airport is an airport with the ICAO code VNBP and the IATA code BHR. Country: Nepal. Nearest settlement listed in the database: Bharatpur. OurAirports classifies it as a small airport. Its ICAO code starts with the VN prefix, which marks airports in Nepal. The four-letter code VNBP is used in flight operations and weather reports, while the three-letter IATA code BHR is used for ticketing and baggage handling. The airport reference point sits at 27°40'41"N, 84°25'46"E, at an elevation of 600 ft (183 m) above sea level. The applicable time zone is Asia/Kathmandu.

Runways of VNBP
| Threshold | Course | Length | Width | Surface |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 | 150° | 1,158 m (3,799 ft) | 30 m (98 ft) | asphalt |
| 33 | 330° |
The course is derived from the runway designator (number × 10), not from a survey - the actual magnetic bearing can differ by a few degrees.
Declared distances (TORA, TODA, ASDA, LDA) are published in the national AIP - they are not part of this table.
Runway headings and wind
The thresholds are oriented as follows: 15/33 on 150° and 330° magnetic. A threshold designator is its magnetic heading divided by ten (ICAO Annex 14), so the runway axis can be read straight off the numbers.
For the 15/33 axis, wind from the south-west (around 240°) or from the north-east (around 60°) blows perpendicular to the runway and produces the largest crosswind component. Wind from around 150° or 330° acts along the runway, as a headwind or a tailwind. The decoder on this page computes those components automatically from the current METAR.
METAR and TAF for VNBP
Weather reports for Bharatpur Airport are published under the ICAO code VNBP. A METAR is an observation of current conditions, usually issued every 30 or 60 minutes; a TAF is a forecast for the airport area, typically covering 9 to 30 hours.
The decoder breaks the VNBP report down into its parts: wind direction and speed including gusts and variability, visibility (including CAVOK and directional minimum visibility), weather phenomena by WMO code, cloud layers with their bases, temperature and dew point, QNH pressure, and the resulting flight category - VFR, MVFR, IFR or LIFR - using FAA thresholds.
Not every airport issues its own reports; many smaller airfields have no weather station. If no current data is available for VNBP, check the nearby airports listed below.
Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The Asia/Kathmandu zone stays at GMT+05:45 year-round, so converting to local time is always the same shift.
The closest airports in the database, measured in a straight line from the reference point, are Meghauli Airport (VNMG, 23 km), Palungtar Airport (Gorkha) (VNGK, 40 km), Pokhara International Airport (VNPR, 69 km). When no report is available for VNBP, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
