Your live singer in Kathmandu

Kathmandu holds seven UNESCO sites within its valley, among them the Pashupatinath temple, Boudhanath stupa and Swayambhunath. Its old squares, Thamel’s tourist district and the Durbar Square of Patan are busy with visitors, and the surrounding hills give views of the Himalaya on clear mornings.

The city’s hotels have long catered to Indian guests, and wedding groups often book a floor for several days. Corporate groups visit for incentive trips, and the city’s clubs and cafés host live music through the week.

Hindi songs are well loved, and a set that mixes Hindi romance, Nepali folk and a Sufi block pleases a mixed audience. Power cuts are rare in the hotels, but the band confirms backup power and sound limits ahead of time.

The year in Kathmandu

October to April is the main season, with Dashain and Tihar in autumn and Holi in spring. The monsoon from June to September brings rain and landslides on the roads.

A set list for a Kathmandu wedding

A mountain-view reception might open with Hindi romantic classics, move through Kun Faya Kun and Khairiyat, include Resham Firiri and Kal Ho Naa Ho, and end with a lively block of Bollywood dance hits. A sunrise breakfast event may use a single acoustic guitar.

Venues around the Kathmandu valley

Destination weddings in Kathmandu use the large hotels in Thamel, Durbar Marg and the Boudha area, heritage properties in Patan and Bhaktapur, and resorts on the valley rim at Nagarkot and Dhulikhel, where the Himalaya can be seen on a clear morning. Corporate groups favour the business hotels near the airport.

Hill resorts give the best views but the coolest nights and a longer drive, and their power and sound depend on the property. City hotels are easier for a full band. The festival seasons of Dashain and Tihar fill rooms and roads, and the band plans the arrival day around them.
