The 55 windows, made of black lacquered sandalwood, were very intricate considering the palace was completed in 1754 during the reign of King Malla. Above the Golden Gate were 2 famous figures: golden wing bird and Kali the goddess of destruction. The gate was the main entrance to the palace courtyard. Truly the star of Bhaktapur Durbar Square. This general area costs 1,500 rupee per person to enter.…

This is one of the significant structures in Bhaktapur Durbar Square with NPR 1,500 entrance fee for foreigners. Bhaktapur Durbar Square can be reached within 45 mins from Thamel district in Kathmandu by taxi which cost NPR 1,000 per trip.

It's a great palace with amazing carpentry with 55widows, each window is different from the other. There's no similarity between any widows. It's feast to watch, well maintained by protecting and preserving the palace. It's must visit if you are in Nepal

In my opinion absolutely nothing to see. When you hear the word Palace you think of grandeour but this is a fairly unattractive building that you can't even photograph for the constant crowds that stand around outside, and which has nothing much in the courtyard either. If you have a spare 5 minutes and are walking past anyway fine, but not worth a visit in itself. Disappointing.…
