Nepal’s Rani Mahal draws crowds as interest in heritage tourism rises

Updated:8 months ago

Palpa (Nepal), Nov 05 (ANI): Nestled on the top of a giant rock, at the banks of the Kaligandaki River, the "Rani Mahal" also translated as Queen's Palace is flocked with hundreds of tourists on daily basis. The stately brick-and-mortar edifice built in 1893 by then General Khadga Shumsher, commemorating the death of his wife Tej Kumari, many regard the structure as the "Taj Mahal of Nepal". One of the famous landmarks in Western Nepal, the Rani Mahal had previously lived in the shadows, but now it is brimming with tourists. Rani Mahal had lost its charm a few years back, as the road leading to the destination was also sandwiched between the glamour of Pokhara to the northeast and Lumbini to the south. The quiet atmosphere, surrounded by hills and a pristine river flowing beside the palace, is a major attraction for tourists visiting the historical site. The number of footfall has also continued to rise year by year as the jewel of the West receives attention and is included in the bucket lists of visitors.
