Valentine's Day in Kathmandu
Valentine's Day is one of the biggest date nights of the year in Kathmandu — and among the city's younger crowd, it's taken seriously. Restaurants roll out set menus, rooftop bars book out for the view, and venues put on couples events and live music around 14 February. This is your guide to where to take someone.

Planning a Valentine's date in Kathmandu
The default move is dinner, and on 14 February that means booking ahead — the rooftop restaurants in Jhamsikhel and Durbarmarg and the hotel fine-dining rooms run Valentine's set menus and fill up days in advance. If you want the view and the candlelit table, don't leave it to the day.
If a set-menu dinner isn't your thing, the alternatives are good: a live-music evening in Thamel, a comedy date night, a couples cooking or pottery workshop, or the simplest one — a slow afternoon around Patan Durbar Square and a café, then drinks somewhere with a rooftop. Whatever you pick, the events below and our date-night guide will point you to the right room.
