Local business guidance

Unique Local Workweek

Nepal's commercial sector operates Sunday through Friday, with Saturday serving as the main public weekend day off. Government offices follow a Monday through Friday schedule.

Winter Schedule Adjustments

Government agencies and public institutions operate reduced daily hours from 09:00 to 16:00 during the winter months (approximately November through February).

Festival and Public Holidays

Major festivals like Dashain and Tihar cause widespread closures for several consecutive days across government offices, financial institutions, and local retail stores.

Tourist Hub Nightlife

While neighborhood eateries close around 21:30 or 22:00, tourist and entertainment districts like Thamel feature extended dining and late-night venue hours.

Banking Transaction Windows

Public transaction counters close earlier than administrative bank offices, typically ending at 16:00 from Sunday to Thursday and 15:00 on Friday.
