Overview

Enter the heart of the history of Kathmandu into the famous landmark in this bustling Nepalese metropolis where architectural wonders and ancient culture live together in harmony: that is Hanuman Dhoka. Those who want to view the cultural centre of this city should not miss visiting such a spectacular complex of palaces alongside other Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square. Hanuman Dhoka Location is Hanuman Dhoka Sadak, Kathmandu 44600, Nepal.


The "Hanuman Dhoka" takes its name from a guarding statue of the monkey god, Lord Hanuman, who was guarding the palace's entrance. Kathmandu was founded in the Licchavi era but enlarged by successive Malla and Shah dynasties. This place is just a historical gold mine for being a religious one, as it holds so many artistic masterpieces. Till the 19th century, it was the Nepalese royal residence, and till now, this is still one of the mighty reminders of regal heritage the country boasts about.


Many courtyards, temples, and other buildings that tell stories of Nepal's glorious past can be found within the sprawling Hanuman Dhoka Durbar, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
