Prayer times in Kathmandu — common questions

What time is Fajr in Kathmandu today?

Fajr in Kathmandu begins at 04:02 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.

Which direction is the Qibla from Kathmandu?

From Kathmandu, the Qibla is 271.7° from true north — roughly W. Remember that a phone compass points to magnetic north, so you may need to correct for local magnetic declination.

Which calculation method is used for Kathmandu?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Nepal. If your mosque follows a different authority, its Fajr and Isha may differ by several minutes — the calculation is identical, only the twilight angle changes.

How much does daylight change through the year in Kathmandu?

Day length in Kathmandu ranges from about 10.4 hours at midwinter to 13.9 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 3.5 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.

How far is Kathmandu from Makkah?

Kathmandu lies approximately 4628 km from the Kaaba in Makkah, measured as a great circle across the Earth's surface. That distance is what determines the Qibla bearing shown above.
