Tribhuvan Sadan

Tribhuvan Sadan is a former royal residence within the Narayanhiti Palace complex in Kathmandu, featuring traditional Nepalese architectural elements and several ceremonial rooms. The structure includes different functional spaces that were designed for royal purposes.

The building became the site of tragic events in 2001 when ten members of the Nepalese royal family died during a family gathering. Following its demolition in 2005, the structure was completely reconstructed in 2016.

The building reflects royal customs of the Nepalese monarchy, having been designated as the separate residence of Crown Prince Dipendra according to palace traditions.

The building is now part of the Narayanhiti Palace Museum and accessible to visitors exploring the grounds. It is helpful to allow adequate time and check the regular opening hours when planning your visit.

The building was completely rebuilt after its destruction and serves as visible evidence of a significant, though tragic, chapter in Nepalese royal history. This reconstruction allows visitors to explore the location themselves rather than only read about it.
