Daylight changes a little each day. These seven rows are calculated for Kathmandu and stay on this stable URL rather than creating dated pages. Tomorrow's sunrise and sunset for twelve cities, each on its own tomorrow, are on sunrise tomorrow.

- Tonight. 12 hours 47 minutes from sunset to tomorrow's sunrise — the ratrimana, whose eighths are the night Choghadiyas and whose twelfths are the night Horas.
- Local noon. Midway between sunrise and sunset, Kathmandu's noon falls at 11:47 AM today, 13 minutes before 12:00 on the clock. Kathmandu lies 0.9° west of the 86.25° E meridian its clock keeps, which makes noon 4 minutes late; the time of year (the equation of time) takes off 17 minutes today. Abhijit Muhurat is centred on this moment, not on twelve o'clock.
- Day length. Kathmandu has 11 hours 13 minutes of daylight today, against 11 hours 24 minutes a week ago and 11 hours 3 minutes a week from now: the days here are getting shorter by about 10 minutes a week, and will until the shortest day, around 22 December. In 2026 the longest day is 13 hours 54 minutes (around 21 June) and the shortest 10 hours 24 minutes (around 22 December), a swing of 3 hours 31 minutes.
- The year's extremes. The earliest sunrise of 2026 is 5:07 AM (around 10 June) and the latest 6:56 AM (around 11 January); the earliest sunset is 5:08 PM (around 1 December) and the latest 7:04 PM (around 1 July). None falls on a solstice: the Sun's clock time drifts through the year, so the latest mornings come weeks after the shortest day.
- The overhead Sun. Kathmandu lies 27.7° north, 4.3° beyond the Tropic of Cancer, so the Sun never stands directly overhead: at its highest, around 21 June, it is 86° above the horizon at noon.
Most of a panchang is measured from sunrise rather than from midnight, so the figure above sets the boundaries of the day's other timings in Kathmandu: Choghadiya, Hora and Rahu Kaal are all divisions of the interval between it and sunset.
For tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and the full set of muhurta windows, open the full Panchang for Kathmandu.
Both times are computed from this city's own latitude and longitude for today's date, not read from a national table. India keeps one clock across roughly 30 degrees of longitude, so real sunrise varies across the country by well over an hour.
Positions come from the Swiss Ephemeris, using this city's coordinates and today's date. Sunrise and sunset are the moments the Sun's upper edge crosses the horizon, which is the convention a printed panchang uses and the reason these times differ by a minute or two from a "centre of the disc" figure.
Moonrise and moonset come from the same calculation for the Moon. They are the first after this sunrise and before the next — the panchang day — so a moonrise after midnight carries the next date. The Moon rises roughly 50 minutes later each day, so on some days it does not rise at all in that span and that row is omitted rather than left blank.
Sunrise and sunset questions, answered
What time is sunrise in Kathmandu today?
The Sun rises in Kathmandu at 6:11 AM today, calculated for the city's own latitude and longitude rather than a national average.
What time is sunset in Kathmandu today?
Sunset in Kathmandu is at 5:24 PM today.
How long is the day in Kathmandu today?
11 hours 13 minutes of daylight and 12 hours 47 minutes of darkness. A panchang calls those two figures dinamana and ratrimana.
Which timezone are these times in?
All times on this page are local to Kathmandu, computed for Asia/Kathmandu (UTC+05:45). They are not converted from Indian Standard Time.
Why is sunrise in Kathmandu different from Delhi?
India keeps one clock across roughly 30 degrees of longitude, so actual sunrise differs across the country by well over an hour. Every figure here is computed for Kathmandu's coordinates, which is also why the Choghadiya, Hora and Rahu Kaal windows measured from it differ from Delhi's.
Delhi and every major city on one page: Sunrise and sunset today.
Sunrise and sunset are properties of a place, so each city is calculated separately. A time computed for Delhi is wrong in Chennai by a meaningful margin.
