As the name suggests, this waterpark will have fun-filled rides and slides for the whole family. 'Fun Valley' is located in a sprawling garden in Bhaktapur and is the perfect place to go in the summer to cool off. The water is filtered and cleaned regularly to ensure hygiene. There are many adrenaline-pumping rides to hop into as well.
Found in Kirtipur, this waterpark is equipped with swirling rides, fountains and water slides which makes 'Whoopee Land' an exciting and fresh getaway for you and your friends. You will be greeted by a huge skeleton of a T-Rex and Shrek. At the night, the pool turns into a dancefloor with music and colourful lights.
Wash away all your troubles at Pokhara's 'BIG SPLASH Waterpark'. Exhilarating multi-coloured water slides, pendulum slides and cool blue waters will quench your thirst for fun. A very clean and well-maintained waterpark that draws in a large crowd on weekends.
The gorgeous waterpark perfectly captures the Himalayan beauty in the town of Pida. The park follows international standards and is perfectly safe and sound. The staff and lifeguards are very prompt and the place is fully equipped with a multi-cuisine restaurant, locker rooms, shower, and costumes available for rent.
This fun water park has 5 exciting water slides, one wave pool and a swimming pool, all sure to make your time here a great one. The other fun feature here is the dancing floor. Visitors can also have a nice meal at the Food Park and test out the Gym here.
Dhangadhi Fun City sits in Kailali district in far-western Nepal, and part of its draw is that nothing else like it is anywhere near: every other park on this list is in the Kathmandu valley or at Pokhara, several hundred kilometres east. Alongside the slides and pools it runs dry rides, rollercoasters and bumper cars among them, so it holds a full day rather than a swim.
Water parks in Nepal are seasonal in a way they are not in warmer countries. The Kathmandu Valley sits at 1,300 metres and is only really hot from April to early June, which is exactly when Kathmandu Fun Valley and Whoopee Land fill up with families on weekends. Pokhara is warmer and Big Splash runs a longer season. The Terai parks, Ocean Park at Itahari and Dhangadhi Fun City, sit on the hot plains and are open and busy for much of the year. A few things worth knowing before you go: weekends and Nepali public holidays are far busier than weekdays, most parks close or run reduced attractions through the monsoon from mid-June to September, and swimming costumes are usually required rather than street clothes. Bring your own towel. For the rest of what these towns offer, see cities in Nepal and day trips from Kathmandu.

Whoopee Land in Kirtipur, on the edge of the Kathmandu Valley, is the largest and the most recently built, combining water slides with a dry amusement park. Kathmandu Fun Valley near Bhaktapur is the older and better-known name.
April to early June is the peak, the hot pre-monsoon weeks before the rains arrive. The monsoon from mid-June to September closes or reduces most parks, and the valley is too cold for them from November to February. The Terai parks stay usable longer at both ends.
Big Splash Waterpark is the main one, a short drive out of the city. Pokhara is lower and warmer than Kathmandu, so its season runs longer, though the monsoon here is heavier than in the valley.
Most have a separate shallow children's area alongside the main slides. Lifeguard cover varies between parks, so keep young children within reach rather than relying on supervision, and check the height restrictions on the larger slides before paying.
Entry is charged per person and is modest by international standards, with different rates for adults and children and sometimes a higher weekend price. Lockers, costume hire and food are usually extra, and most parks take cash more reliably than cards.
Yes. Ocean Park and Resort at Itahari and Dhangadhi Fun City in Kailali serve the eastern and far-western Terai, and Exotic Waterpark at Pida is another Terai option. These are local family destinations rather than tourist attractions.
