Best nightclubs Nepal

Nepalese love to go out, and to enjoy a lounge atmosphere for an evening, there's no need to relocate to Kathmandu. There is a place in Patan, and it's quite sophisticated, like the hipster bars and restaurants of Jhamsikhel, which attract the golden youth living in this district. The codes are faithful to lounge bars: DJ distilling easy-listening electro music, carefully crafted cocktails and well-chosen glasses of wine, and a huge terrace (on the^3rd floor of Labim Mall) serving gourmet snacks to accompany your drink.

This is Kathmandu's biggest club, a huge machine frequented by Kamtandu's golden youth, combining rock bar and electro club, the two most popular genres in the country. It's called LOD, and the drinks menu is quite sophisticated, with cocktails and draught beers. Giant screens, sound systems and state-of-the-art lighting invite you to dance the night away, to the electro sounds mixed by resident and guest DJs from major international clubs. Evening wear required.

This club's name is a bit of a misnomer, since we'd rather call it Plan A! We love its ultra-modern, dapper decor, its lights and sound system that distill a party atmosphere, and its DJs with up-to-date mixes, who play a fair amount of "Naija music", contemporary Afrobeat by Burna Boy, Wizfkids and other Nigerian stars, as well as other danceable electro sounds. The nightclub is very popular at weekends, when queues can get long. A word of advice: go during the week or not too late in the evening. Don't miss the rooftop for a break.

This is Pokhara's best club, located in the middle of the Lakeside, so it's a great place to go out late at night. It deserves its reputation for its ultra-festive atmosphere, especially at weekends. Its pretty stage, with a giant screen in front, is ideal for DJ nights, and the dancefloor is alive with hip Nepalese youth. Its futuristic look, excellent sound system and profusion of neon lights attract local and international DJs alike. Live concerts are also scheduled. A great place to go out, with excellent cocktails and draught beers.

This is THE new trendy address in Kathmandu, to be tried out especially on Saturday nights. This new club, which just opened in 2023, is completely crazy, with a colorful checkerboard floor that flashes like Saturday Night Fever, a dozen facet balls of all sizes under a huge ceiling that shimmer as they spin, and waiters in rhinestone shirts. It's enough to make you want to be Travolta on the dance floor! Especially as the sound is disco and 70's at times. Good cocktails and draught beers. Sushi, momos, hotel (!) and live music during the week.
