Students of grade VIII, IX, and X of Deerwalk Sifal School visited Narayanhiti Palace. We departed from school at around 11 and got there at 11:15.
As we entered we saw a beautiful hall, it was like a living room. There was a cool bear carpet and there were two Bengal tigers which were hunted by King Mahendra and King Birendra. The palace was so cool and the dining table was also very classy. Narayanhiti is located in the capital city of Kathmandu. The palace was center for state occasions and royal hospitality. The palace is complex and it is located in the east side of the Kaiser Mahal next to Thamel and is incorporated in an impressive and vast array of courtyards, gardens, and buildings. The current Narayanhiti Durbar was built by King Mahendra in 1963 A.D.
The owner of Narayanhiti Palace is the government of Nepal. The structure of the palace consists of brick and mortar. The size of the palace is 38 acres or 753 Ropanis. The architect of the palace is Benjamin Polk. Narayanhiti has 53 rooms called Sadan, which are named after 75 districts of Nepal. Interior of the palace is based on late Victorian style. The palace stands on the floor space of 3794m(40838.28 sq.ft). The royal palace is now a public museum. The crown jewels are very precious for Nepal.
