Events in Lalitpur — Patan, Jhamsikhel & Pulchowk
Lalitpur — Patan to most locals — packs Kathmandu Valley's best food-and-drink strip and its richest living heritage into one small city. Jhamsikhel and Sanepa run the restaurants, craft-cocktail bars and live gigs; Patan Durbar Square and its courtyards host classical concerts, art walks and jatras; and the galleries and studios in between keep a steady calendar of openings and workshops.
Dig into the neighbourhoods: Patan, Jhamsikhel, and Pulchowk. Or zoom out to everything on across the valley this week.

Frequently asked questions
Is Patan the same as Lalitpur?
Yes — Lalitpur is the official city name and Patan is the historic name most people still use, especially for the old town around Patan Durbar Square. Jhamsikhel, Sanepa, Pulchowk, Kupandole, Jawalakhel and Ekantakuna are all part of Lalitpur. Every event on this page takes place inside the city, whichever name the venue uses.
Where do people go out in Lalitpur?
Jhamsikhel is the anchor — a walkable strip of restaurants, breweries and bars with live music most weekends, spilling into neighbouring Sanepa and Jawalakhel. For a quieter evening, the cafés and courtyard restaurants around Patan Durbar Square stay lively until around 9–10 PM. Confirmed gigs and events across all of it are listed on this page.
What cultural events happen in Patan?
Patan's calendar runs deep — Rato Machindranath's chariot festival in spring, Krishna Janmashtami at the Krishna Mandir, classical music in the Patan Museum courtyard, and regular heritage walks and craft workshops in the old town. Cultural events appear here as organisers confirm dates.
