Itinerary and highlights
A professional guide will meet you at your hotel and transfer to the Narayanhiti Palace Museum. Begin your visit inside the palace and gather knowledge regarding the history of Nepal. The Palace is divided into 3 sections, the guest wing, state wing, and the private wing. The 52 rooms, or sadan, are named after 75 districts of Nepal. Observe the interior of the Palace, based on late Victorian styles. See the reception hall, called Kaski Sadan, where Shah Monarchs of Nepal gave audience to politicians and performed oath ceremonies for the Prime Minister and heads of constitutional bodies for the kingdom.
The throne room, Gorkha Baithak, is the center of the entire palace and located right above Kaski Baithak. To the right of the Gorkha Baithak, is Dolpa Sadan, used as the room for the uninvited guests of the royal family to view proceedings of Gorkha Baithak through a one-way viewing mirror. Court ceremonies of Narayanhiti durbar were held in Dhanusha Baithak where the king awarded decorations. Walk through the room that was used for teeka and Darsan during Dashain by the royal family. Visit a total of 19 Sadans before heading back to your hotel.
