The short answer
Yes, in a limited way. Kathmandu has golf courses, including one near the airport area and one at a resort in the northern forest. Tennis courts and gyms are found in many larger hotels. Football and cricket are popular local sports, and friendly games sometimes form at open grounds.
For most visitors the main sport is outdoors: trekking, rafting and paragliding. If golf matters to you, call the club first about visitor rules, hire of clubs and green fees.
