Tundikhel, Central green space in Kathmandu, Nepal

The rectangular grass field stretches from Ratna Park to Sahid Gate, providing an essential natural space in the middle of dense urban construction.

Military parades, horse races, and public gatherings have taken place at Tundikhel since the early 18th century during the Malla period.

The field hosts the Ghode Jatra festival each March, featuring traditional horse races originating from an ancient ritual to control local spirits.

Local residents use the field in mornings and evenings for exercise, while the space serves as an emergency gathering point during natural disasters.

A notable tree called Khariko Bot stood at the center until the 1960s, where Nepal's leaders made important announcements to the population.
