About Kathmandu
Kathmandu is Nepal's capital and the gateway for most trekking and climbing trips, set in a bowl-shaped valley in the foothills of the Himalaya. Haze often hangs over the valley in the dry season, while the monsoon brings heavy cloud from June to September. These Kathmandu live cams look across the city centre to Dharahara, the tower rebuilt after the 2015 earthquake.
Which Kathmandu webcam to check first
Start with the Dharahara Tower view for the city centre and the sky over the valley. The PTZ camera turns between the tower and the wider skyline, so it gives a broader read on haze and cloud.
Before you go to Kathmandu
Check the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology forecast before flights to the mountains. Haze and cloud in the valley can delay departures from Kathmandu airport.
Live cameras and modelled weather can be delayed, incomplete or offline. Check official weather, access and safety information before you make plans.
