KATHMANDU: Google Maps has officially launched its Street View service in Nepal, offering virtual access to the country’s breathtaking landscapes, historic architecture, and vibrant culture. The announcement was made today during the Digital Nepal Conclave 2025.
From today, anyone around the world can explore Nepal digitally through Google Maps’ Street View. Users can stroll through the bustling streets of Kathmandu, navigate the tranquil expanses of the Terai region, or take a virtual journey along winding roads that reveal the majestic snow-capped Himalayas—all from a smartphone or computer.
This new feature allows users to experience Nepal’s rich architectural heritage, ancient temples, palaces, lively marketplaces, and vibrant traditions up close, offering an immersive window into the nation’s cultural and historical wealth.
The Street View launch is expected to serve as a dynamic medium for promoting Nepal’s cultural heritage and tourism potential globally. By providing virtual access to Nepal’s iconic sights, the initiative aims to attract international attention, encourage tourism, and showcase the country’s unique landscapes and traditions to a worldwide audience.
To explore Nepal through Street View, users can open Google Maps on their devices, click the 360° view or the yellow “pegman” icon, and start navigating across the country’s streets, landmarks, and scenic spots.
Featured Street View Highlights:
Kathmandu Durbar Square
Swayambhu Mahachaitya (Swayambhunath Stupa)
Bolachhe Tol (Potters Square), Bhaktapur
Dattatreya Temple, Bhaktapur
Kulekhani Reservoir (Indra Sarovar)

This virtual initiative is expected to boost global awareness of Nepal’s tourism destinations and cultural richness, making it easier for enthusiasts, students, and travelers to experience the country digitally before visiting in person.
