Stargazing in Kathmandu

At about 1,400 m, Kathmandu is in Nepal’s middle hills. The air is often cleaner than on the plains; for the Milky Way, head to a ridge or rooftop away from street lights.

This time of year

Right now is post-monsoon season, usually the clearest time of year for stargazing in Nepal.
