Basantpur Tower is an architectural beauty. The place takes you back in time with its wooded framework & unique design.

The architecture of basantapur is very historic and finely crafted. The place has old woody fragrance and can see lots of pigeons and monkey. The tea of different species and herbs are really fashion. Its not clean all the time and doesn't require any tickets.

East Asian architecture is so bland and underwhelming when compared to Ottoman architecture, European Architecture and Turkic-Iranian architecture. Blah. Also the filth of Durbar Square adds to the ugliness.

The old architectures bring you to the past and give us a little idea how people were at that time and their mode of living too.
