Nuwakot Palace, Seven-story palace complex in Bidur, Nepal.
The palace structure features thick brick walls measuring six feet wide with carved windows placed throughout its multiple levels.
King Prithvi Narayan Shah constructed this palace in 1762 after capturing Nuwakot, establishing it as a base for Nepal's unification campaign.
Traditional festivals including SindureJatra, Narayan Jatra, and GaiJatra continue to take place within the palace grounds throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the palace through a three-hour drive from Kathmandu to Bidur, followed by an additional uphill trek from Trishuli Bazar.
The palace floors served specific functions: guards on ground level, royal quarters on second floor, prayer rooms on third, and prison cells above.
