Kathmandu View Tower (Nepali: काठमाडौं भ्यू टावर) is a building, currently under construction, in Kathmandu, Nepal.[1][2] It is planned to be Nepal's tallest building at 130 Meters (426ft) with 29 stories.[3][4]

It was inaugurated by Nepal's Vice-president Nanda Bahadur Pun on 11 November 2015.[3][5] Construction on Kathmandu View Tower commenced on 14 August 2016.[6]

In November 2022, it was reported that the building was limited to be 12-storey to satisfy safety regulations. This is due to frequent earthquakes in Nepal.[7]

In 2023, it was reported that only 30 percent of work on the building had been completed as it was topped out.[6]
