Narayanhiti Palace, Royal palace museum in Kathmandu, Nepal.
The Narayanhiti Palace Museum features neoclassical architecture with symmetrical designs, multiple courtyards, and extensive gardens covering the palace grounds.
Originally built in 1963 as the residence of Nepal's Shah dynasty, the palace transformed into a public museum following the abolition of monarchy in 2008.
The museum displays the royal crown jewels, including the Sripech crown with 730 diamonds and 2000 pearls, representing centuries of Nepalese royal heritage.
The museum welcomes visitors from Thursday to Monday between 10:30 AM and 2:30 PM, with different entrance fees for Nepali citizens, SAARC nationals, and other foreigners.
The Gold State Coach exhibited in the museum was a gift from Queen Elizabeth II to King Mahendra Shah during her 1961 visit to Nepal.
