Gaddi Baithak, Neoclassical palace in Basantapur Durbar Square, Nepal
The Gaddi Baithak stands with white columns and European architectural elements in the center of Kathmandu's historical district.
Chandra Shumsher Jang Bahadur Rana commissioned the construction of this ceremonial palace in 1908 for state functions and royal receptions.
The palace represents the integration of European architectural influences into Nepalese royal buildings during the early twentieth century.
Visitors can access the palace through guided tours, with entrance tickets available at the main gate of Basantapur Durbar Square.
The palace underwent extensive restoration after the 2015 earthquake through a collaboration between Nepal and the United States government.
