On January 29th, 2011, the students of grade 1, 8 and 10 were taken to Narayanhiti Palace Museum as a field trip: my friends and I were utterly excited as many of us went to the Palace for the first time. Our excitement was geared up as soon as we headed towards our destination - Narayanhiti Palace Museum. At around 11:15 AM, we finally reached the Narayanhiti Palace Museum.
The outside view of the Palace was not so mesmerizing. So I thought it would seem to be small when people look at it from outside. But as soon as we entered the gate of the Palace, I was surprised because the palace had covered a very large area. The palace was very beautiful inside, with many eye-catching decors. After all, it's the place where the late King of Nepal and his family resided. The Palace was really big but many places were a bit unmanaged. For instance, there was no water in a pond
The main purpose of our visit was to learn and observe the place. We observed each and everything very carefully and we even asked the staff of the museum about many things. We also visited the place in the palace where the massacre of the royal family took place. The marks of the bullets fired on the royal family was seen in many walls. The places where the dead bodies of the members of the royal family were found was also mentioned there. Everyone started to gossip about the massacre as the massacre of the royal family is still a mystery. But in no time, only gossips came to an end as we had to return to school.
This day was indeed an informative day for me. I had always wanted to know about the lavish lifestyle of the King. This day provoked my never-ending thoughts about the probability of Nepal being a Kingdom again.
