Futsal in Chabahil: Late-Night Slots and Group Bookings
Chabahil's futsal courts run late, take big groups, and price honestly. Here's the 2026 guide for after-work and weekend bookings.
Table of contents8 sections
Your team finishes work at 9pm, the Patan courts are closed or full, and you want to play. Chabahil is the answer.
The futsal courts here run late, take groups of 10-14 without drama, and price below the Patan ceiling. Here's the working guide for 2026.
Chabahil in one paragraph
Chabahil sits on the northeast ring of Kathmandu, between Boudha and Gaushala. The futsal scene here is more workmanlike than scene-y — fewer cafe-after-court crowds, more regular weekly groups. Several courts stay open until midnight and run last-slot discounts to fill late hours. If your group has anyone coming from Mitrapark, Jorpati, or Boudha, Chabahil is the natural pick.
What it costs in 2026
| Slot | Price range (Rs./hr) |
|---|---|
| Peak (6-9pm weekdays + weekend) | 1,100-1,500 |
| Off-peak (mornings, midday) | 700-1,000 |
| Late-night (10pm-midnight) | 700-1,000 — often discounted to fill |
Chabahil's late-night discounts are the real value. Some venues drop 30-40% after 10pm to keep courts occupied.
What to expect
- Turf quality: mid-tier; well-maintained at the newer venues, tired at a couple of older ones
- Court size: mix of 5-a-side and 6-a-side
- Cover: partial cover on most; a couple of full-cover options
- Lights: standard floodlights; bring a backup plan if your venue is older and lights have flickered before
- Changing rooms: basic; expect a tap and a bench
- Vibe: less student crowd, more 25-40 year-olds with regular weekly slots
Parking reality
Easier than Patan, but the main Chabahil junction is busy.
- Two-wheelers: generally fine
- Cars: decent — most venues have parking or adjacent street space
- Festival evenings: the Boudha-Chabahil stretch gets crowded; add 15 minutes
- Best routes in: from Gaushala or from the Ring Road exit toward Jorpati
Peak hour patterns
- 6-9pm: weekday rush, often with regular booked groups
- 9-10pm: transition; slots start opening up
- 10pm-midnight: the late-night sweet spot — cheaper and quieter
- Saturday morning 7-9am: family and office team slots
- Saturday evening: busy all night
Group bookings — Chabahil's specialty
Several courts here actively welcome 12-16 person bookings and run "split the court" arrangements where two groups share a slot. If you have an office team that wants a 90-minute window with breaks, this works better here than in tighter Jhamsikhel venues.
Ask the venue about:
- Two-hour blocks at a discount
- Free water for groups of 12+
- Storage for bags during play
- Separate spaces for chatter and play
Monsoon notes
Chabahil has uneven drainage. Some streets flood briefly during heavy rain. Most courts continue through light monsoon; heavy downpours cancel uncovered slots. Confirm from June to September.

Frequently asked questions
How late can I actually play in Chabahil?
Several courts run until midnight. A few go to 1am on weekends. Confirm with the venue when booking — the listed close time isn't always the latest available slot.
Are the late-night discounts real?
Yes, at the venues that publish them. Expect 20-40% off the peak rate for slots starting after 10pm. Some venues only honor it for groups of 8+.
Can my office team of 14 book here?
Yes — Chabahil handles groups well. Look for 6-a-side courts and book a 90-minute or 2-hour block.
Is parking a problem on festival days?
Yes, during Tihar and major Boudha festival evenings. Add 20 minutes to your drive or come by taxi.
What's the cheapest 1-hour weekday slot?
Late-night and midday off-peak both land around Rs. 700-900/hr. Filter on Maidaan and pick the time that works.
