About Holi in Kathmandu
Holi is Nepal's festival of colours — a riot of powder, water balloons (lola) and music that turns Kathmandu's streets and rooftops into open-air parties. Basantapur and Durbar Square draw the biggest crowds; venues across the valley throw ticketed Holi rain-dance parties with DJs and foam.
Holi peaks in March, and in 2027 the main day falls on Tuesday, 2 March 2027. Because it moves with the calendar each year, the surrounding events — dinners, concerts, cultural nights and parties — tend to appear in the weeks just before. If the grid above is quiet, it simply means we're out of season: bookmark this page and check back as March nears.
