Step inside Nepal’s former royal palace in central Kathmandu to explore state rooms, royal history and the country’s political transition.
About this spot
Narayanhiti Palace Museum is a central Kathmandu museum set inside Nepal’s former royal residence near Durbar Marg. Opened to the public after the monarchy ended, the palace offers a close look at ceremonial halls, state rooms, royal interiors and objects connected to modern Nepali history. It is one of the most compelling indoor cultural attractions in Kathmandu for visitors interested in the Shah dynasty and Nepal’s transition to a republic. Allow enough time to move through the museum route and grounds, follow photography and security rules, and confirm the latest ticket counter schedule before visiting. The museum is generally closed on Wednesdays and public holidays.
