Pokhara panchang — local sunrise, tithi and rahu kaal
Pokhara panchang is the lakeside city almanac. Use it instead of a Kathmandu screenshot when you are in Pokhara.
- Coordinates
- 28.21° N, 83.99° E
- Typical sunrise
- valley-and-lake horizon times differ from Kathmandu by minutes
- Calendar note
- Pokhara shares Nepal’s Bikram Sambat civil calendar and lunar tithi festivals with Kathmandu, but local sunrise is not the capital’s sunrise.
Mountain horizon can make perceived dawn feel different from calculated sunrise. Our cards follow the astronomical local sunrise used in panchang practice, not the first glow on a ridge.
Dashain and Tihar still follow tithi. Coordinate with family in Kathmandu using city-named links so clocks are not mixed.
Nepali UI is available. Treat rahu kaal as a beginning-filter for travel to Kathmandu or trekking starts when your custom advises it.
