History is such, just few years back, one had to take out the word "museum" to call this place. Yes, it was just the Narayanhiti Palace. A place of exercising supreme power and the highest authority for the entire country of Nepal. Kings, queens, princes, princess and other royal members used to live and rule the nation from here. It was the symbol of prosperity, authority, power, and fear. But the time has changed now. It has been converted into a museum where one can feel lavishness or simplicity, as you perceive it, of the Royals. Visiting the place, excites your enthusiasm and initiate your reflection that "everything changes". Nothing is permanent; not even the power of supreme Royals.

A very beautiful palace with well preserved annals. This place should be visited by anyone interested in Nepal's cultural heritage.

I would say that the arrangements of the museum was successful preserving the essence of the royals and their memories. Walk around the beautiful garden was peaceful and tranquil. But the tour became melancholic toward the end when we walked in to the area where the royal family was brutally shot.

The famous place attached with the history of the shah dynasty ruling the country Nepal with the glorious history. This place was the official residence of the Royal family and after the country came with the federal state the as being a ceremonial king the king was overthrown from this palace and now converted into the palace museum which is now open for public to visit inside of the palace. This palace consists of the different valuable materials of the Royal family.

This is certainly an interesting place. Sorely lacking in historical details of the monarchy and what they accomplished. But artifacts, and historical items are in great condition. A bit more maintenance required. The palace is under army control and all rooms are heavily guarded. No photographs allowed. Cell phones, cameras and bags need to be checked in prior to entry. Outdoor massacre area was certainly very interesting to a lot of visitors. I personally found it to be least entertaining. Obviously, the massacre itself was pivotal to Nepal's history and opening up to tourism shortly after the Uncle took over the monarchy and after the end of the monarchy. Not much information about all that is presented. So if you see looking to learn something about the history of the monarchy, turn to several published books instead.

Nice place to go and chill cannot bring the mobile handset or any camera inside so little dissapointed. If you are curious about Nepali royal family then this is the place.

The palace and grounds itself was beautiful, lovely and serene but it seemed in desperate need of proper maintenance. Everything like the legacy of the monarch was wilting, withering, fading away into a state of disrepair and disregard. As a tourist this was something that was starkly apparent to me.

Really liked it, very well set out and easy to find your way around. Some of the exhibits are a bit dusty.

You only get to visit the few rooms permitted which are relatively okay.
At the least you have the experience of walking around in a palace.
If only the management sent the visitors in certain quantities every 10-15 mins everybody could look around at ease in peace.

Wonderful museum to get a peak into the Royal Life.
Everything is grand and you can feel the greatness surrounding the place. Yet you see that everything was not languorously luxurious, the items were simple and sober.
They don't let you take the camera in, but you can imagine how the Royal lives would have been. And Yes, to see that many animal skins feels depressing, you can see the pain in the eyes of the animals.

An unbelievable sight. The former Royal family lived here up until 2008. The Palace will give you a glimpse into the life of the royals. I have never seen so many tiger pelts in my life. While most definitely opulent and far nicer than the living conditions of the average Nepali, the place feels dated.

Security is really strict here. You can only visit on certain days and cameras are strictly prohibited. Plan accordingly.

A very large museum. Earlier it was the royal palace of Nepal Royal family and now it's turned into a museum after the democracy restored by the newly made constitution. Tuesday and Wednesday it is closed for maintenance n other stuff.

It is interesting to walk through the former palace, although it is a little sad how run down the palace and the grounds are. Cameras and phones are not allowed. All in all it is worth the 500 rupees if you are interested in Nepal's history.

Previously it was the palace of king but After the fall of monarchy government turned palace to musium . The place is great . All the things used by the royal family are there .We can see most of the things and visit most of the rooms but some rooms are not opened for visitors. Place is well managed and security is tight as well . If you are from Kathmandu or is now here I would recommend this place .

After the displacement of the monarch, it had been turned into a museum and open to the public. A Nice Historic place to spend a holiday. Rooms named after the name of districts, nice paintings, old furniture and beautiful garden are the best part of the museum.

Now turned Museum, it was a palace of Kingdom of Nepal. After the fall of monarchy and rise of federal democracy, it was changed into Museum open for every individual.

I was very eager to see the lifestyle of Royal family, at least the place they lived, furniture they used, garden they played. I was so curious about the most luxurious place in the country.

What I found was very much up to my expectation, it is beautiful and elegant that you can feel it. The architecture, the interior, the area every thing is so fascinating.

I suggest every one to visit the place at least once in their life time.

Historically important palace of Nepal in Kathmandu. As the monarchy toppled by the 2006 revolution it became mesuem and remains open for public. You can see the various royal family stuffs like bedroom, meeting room, guest room, office of King Birendra and etc. In 2001, Neplease Royal Massacre took place here, considered as black day and whole family of Late King Birendra killed.

Museum showcasing the Royal Palace including the places of the Royal massacre which left Nepal without a king. 19 rooms are open to public. Camera, phones, electronic devices etc. are not allowed inside. The decor of the palace didn't live up to my expectations. Shows that Nepalese are simple people unlike the flamboyant Indian rulers.

A huge and lovely historical place. There are rooms named after districts, enormous furniture, paintings of Shah Kings and Queens, a beautiful garden with a beautiful fountain. The must see here are the spots where late Queen Aishwarya and her younger son were murdered. Everyone who visits for the first time will be awestruck to see lifestyle of Shah Kings.
