Where events happen across Nepal
Kathmandu Valley. Thamel's bars and live-music rooms, the Jhamsikhel and Sanepa strip in Lalitpur, the concert halls and open grounds that host the big shows, galleries around Patan, and the old-town squares of Bhaktapur that fill for every festival. Most weeks have something every night.
Pokhara. Lakeside is one long, walkable strip of bars with house bands, rooftops over Phewa Lake and the Pokhara Street Festival at the turn of the year — something is on most evenings.
Dharan and the east. A young, music-first crowd and the concert stops of every big Nepali tour, with Itahari and Biratnagar close by.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I find upcoming events in Nepal?
This page lists every upcoming public event on Kata Jaam? across Nepal — concerts, festivals, workshops, comedy, markets, runs and nights out — grouped by city, with the date, venue and where to get tickets. Most are in the Kathmandu Valley, with Pokhara, Dharan and other cities as organisers list them. It updates through the day as new events are added.
Which city in Nepal has the most events?
Kathmandu, by a distance. The Valley — Kathmandu, Lalitpur (Patan) and Bhaktapur — has the concert halls, the bar and live-music strips of Thamel and Jhamsikhel, the galleries, and most festivals' organised programmes. Pokhara's Lakeside is the second scene, and Dharan is eastern Nepal's concert town.
When is the busiest time for events in Nepal?
October to December. Dashain and Tihar fill October and November with melas, Deusi-Bhailo programmes and festival concerts, the dry season brings the big outdoor shows and runs, and December ends with Christmas and New Year's Eve parties in Kathmandu and the Pokhara Street Festival on Lakeside.
