About this spot

Ratna Park sits between the busy transport area and Ranipokhari in central Kathmandu. Follow the garden paths or stop at a bench for 30–60 minutes. Entry is ticketed, with visitor categories and concessions set by the municipality. Check the gate’s current tariff; nearby food, transport and parking are separate.

The park was established in 1964 and named after Queen Ratna.
