About Durbar Square in Kathmandu

Out of the three Durbar Squares of Kathmandu Valley, the one in Kathmandu is the most visited one in terms of tourists. Kathmandu Durbar Square and the other two at Bhaktapur and Patan are three of the seven UNESCO World Heritage sites located in Kathmandu Valley. The Durbar square once served as the courtyard for the royal palace. The kings of the valley used to be coronated here years after years. All the different festivities and celebrations held under the king’s rule were also celebrated here. In a sense, Durbar squares of Nepal are the bearers of the age-old legacy that the country has witnessed and experienced. This one is no different. The courtyard of Kathmandu Durbar Square bears specimens of authentic Newari architecture and dozens of temples catering to both Hindu and Buddhist faith. The original construction of the quadrangle goes back to the 3rd century during the Licchavi reign. It has seen several reconstructions afterwards under the rule of Mallas, Shahs and Gorkhas.

Hanuman Dhoka Palace Complex:

The entire Durbar square is made of three separate but linked quadrangles. Towards the south is the Basantapur Square which was formerly the royal elephant stable and now an area for souvenir shopping. The main Durbar is towards the west. In the northeast is the entrance courtyard known as Hanuman Dhoka. This is where the royal palace stands. The Mallas and the Shahs ruled over from this place. There is a stone image of Lord Hanuman in the entryway, which gives this square the name. The rooms inside the royal palace can be visited to have a glimpse of the royal Nepalese lifestyle. The palace also houses two museums – King Tribhuvan museum and the Mahendra Museum that displays artefacts, coins, weapons, instruments and other items the royal family used back in the day.

    Srinivas's 6 days trip to kathmandu

    Travel Together with Tripathi Travels - Most important to mention Mr. Paras our tour planner and manager have helped me accomplish almost an impossible goal - Muktinath Darshan with my Mother and Aunt (senior citizens). An unforgettable experience for our family and it's just not Muktinath but also,
    Pashupatinath darshan, Janakpur dham, Kathmandu and Pokhara tourist attractions as well. It's pretty difficult to summarise our experience in words but I Express my heartfelt thanks to Mr. Paras and each and every member in the team right from travel to accomodation to food for giving us a memorable experience to be treasured for lifetime. Whatsoever be the situation on a given day the amount of confidence Mr. Paras and team infused made us feel comfortable throughout. I would certainly plan my travel again with this wonderful team to explore the unexplored Nepal. Each and every moment in this journey was memorable dont know which to pick and which to leave. Thank you team once again!!

    A Big Thanks to Mr. Parasmani from Tripathi Travels. He was very supportive and answered all my queries from day one. There was no scope of any confusion. Everything was seamlessly planned. My driver Dinesh was very professional and amazing at his job. I had a great time in Nepal. The stay and sig

Lastly, I would highly recommend using their service to other people and would definitely love to visit Nepal again with s Snowyoda. Thank you for making our stay and travel memorable.

    Anubhav's 9 days trip to kathmandu

    Fantastic Experience with Snowyoda Expeditions Pvt Ltd in Nepal! We recently returned from a memorable trip to Nepal organized by Snowyoda Expeditions Pvt Ltd, and I can't say enough about how wonderful the experience was! We were a group of 8, including 4 senior citizens and an infant, and the ent
    ire trip was perfectly tailored to our diverse needs. Initially, I was hesitant about booking with Snowyoda Expeditions Pvt Ltd as there were cheaper options available. However, after speaking with their representative, I was reassured by their professionalism and attention to detail. They thoroughly explained what was included in the package and how they ensure quality in every aspect of the trip. This gave me the confidence to go ahead with them, and I’m so glad I did. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, ensuring that we could enjoy the breathtaking beauty of Nepal while keeping the pace comfortable for our seniors and making necessary accommodations for the baby. Mr. Mukti (driver cum guide) was exceptionally knowledgeable and patient, always going the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable and engaged. The transportation was reliable, and the accommodations exceeded our expectations in terms of comfort and accessibility. Overall, Snowyoda Expeditions Pvt Ltd made our trip to Nepal stress-free and truly enjoyable. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a well-organized and delightful travel experience! Thank you for creating such beautiful memories for our family!
