Narayanhiti Palace Museum, Central Region, Nepal

4.0 (309 reviews) Saturday: 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM Spent Ranking #19 in Central Region Speciality Museums

Interesting museum

This museum is well worth a visit during a stay in Kathmandu. It is within walking distance of Thamal. You do need to leave your bag and phone/camera in a locker at the entrance - ours was safe. We visited the museum without a guide and found the information boards and in the pamphlet provided sufficient. Take note of the opening days and times as the palace is not open everyday.

    Fascinating!
    Absolutely Fascinating! It feels like walking through the history of Shah dynasty of Nepal. Everything is mighty inside the palace, it makes you seem royal. Larger than life pictures and paintings of Royals of Nepal to feel their might, and lots and lots of mirrors to humble you down; can be found on every place you look. It may not seem so but it is LARGE! You tire yourself walking through each and every part of the museum and I encourage you to do so if you want the best experience. The staffs are eager to teach you about the significance of the things there and the whole place as a whole. They are very friendly and respectful. While the place itself takes your breath away; the friendly staffs are not an aspect to be ignored. And don't forget to look for the bullet holes!

    Well maintained palace museum
    Visited in December 2022. We went to this place as part of a full day sightseeing tour. It is closed on Wednesdays and all public holidays. The timings are also very short. Around 10 am to 2 pm. Entry fee applies to everyone except Nepali senior citizens. If we use Indian currency, there is a chance we may get shortchanged. Happens everywhere. Better to use Nepali currency. There is a locker where we have to deposit all of our stuff including mobiles. Only wallets and water bottles are allowed. The washrooms are cleanly maintained. There is a defined pathway which will lead through the entire viewable area of the palace. As expected, we are not supposed to touch anything. Apart from the palace, we get to see the royal massacre site as well as the garden, royal plane, helicopter, cars and a bungalow. Seeing everything properly will take 2 to 3 hours.
