Prayer times here use the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi method. For congregational prayer, follow a nearby mosque’s announcement.
Time & prayer in Kathmandu
Local time in Kathmandu falls within the Asia/Kathmandu zone. The clock and date at the top of this page update live to this timezone, so the readings stay accurate wherever you are.
Sitting at a latitude of about 27.7° in the northern hemisphere, Kathmandu's day length varies gently across the seasons. That is why its sunrise, sunset and day-length figures change from month to month, and why prayer times here follow the position of the sun rather than a fixed clock.
The prayer times shown for Kathmandu are calculated using the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi. The five daily prayers track the sun, so each one drifts a little earlier or later as the seasons turn. For the full picture you can open the monthly timetable, the live prayer clock, or the Qibla direction for Kathmandu from the tools on this site.
