Nepal Traffic Cameras: 1,000+ Live Cams

The Nepalese road network is managed with increasing modernization by the Department of Roads (DoR) under the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport. With Kathmandu's population now exceeding 1.5 million and the urban population growing to over 25%, having real-time visibility of critical arteries is essential for navigating the nation's rapid development and extreme topography. TrafficVision aggregates official feeds to give you the same strategic visibility used by traffic controllers to keep Nepal moving.

Master the Strategic Corridors of the Himalayas

Nepal's transport landscape is defined by its role as a vital bridge for both domestic transit and international tourism. According to data from the Department of Roads, the Prithvi Highway is a high-priority route carrying the bulk of the country's passenger and freight traffic. For drivers, this means high-stakes travel through mountain terrain, where real-time information is a vital tool for managing the 7 to 9 hours lost on average to the cross-country journey.

TrafficVision addresses these challenges by providing a unified view of the national camera network. In a city like Kathmandu, where congestion is a constant feature of daily life, having real-time data is essential. By viewing the official street cameras, you can see the actual density of traffic on the Ring Road or the major radial avenues, allowing you to choose the most efficient travel window.

Key Motorways and Strategic Infrastructure

The backbone of the Nepalese transport system consists of high-capacity highways that serve as the primary links for both citizens and international visitors:

• The Prithvi Highway (NH17): The most critical route in the country, connecting the capital to the mid-western region. Our cameras cover the strategic sections through the Trishuli and Marsyangdi river valleys.
• The Tribhuvan Highway: The historic link connecting Kathmandu to the Indian border at Birgunj, essential for national commerce and logistics.
• The Kathmandu Ring Road: Encircling the capital, this modern orbital is critical for regional logistics and is frequently monitored for peak-hour congestion.

Recent research indicates that sections like Kurintar-Mugling remain high-intensity hotspots for traffic incidents, highlighting the growing importance of real-time monitoring to enhance safety across the national infrastructure.

• Grid View for Rapid Context: Use the grid view to compare weather conditions in the humid lowlands versus the misty passes of the high-altitude routes in seconds.
• Favorites and Sync: Save the cameras for the busy Thankot checkpoint or the Pokhara airport road for instant access on your mobile device.
• 24/7 Free Access: No subscriptions or paywalls. Access Nepal's public traffic camera network for free, anytime, on any device.

Weather and Seasonal Traffic Resilience

Nepal's diverse geography means that weather can significantly impact traffic patterns. During the monsoon season, heavy rainfall can lead to immediate landslides and road closures on the national highways. In the winter, dense fog in the Terai and high-altitude snow can reduce visibility to near zero. Our cameras allow you to visually verify road surface conditions and visibility before you head out, ensuring you only travel when it is safe to do so.

Additionally, the Department of Roads frequently undertakes modernization projects to improve the safety and capacity of the national routes. By checking the live feeds, you can identify active work zones and any temporary diversions on the high-speed sections between Naubise and Mugling, ensuring your journey remains as predictable as possible.
