Narayanhiti Palace Museum
Narayanhiti Palace was the home of Nepal's Shah kings, standing at the eastern end of Durbar Marg in central Kathmandu. After the end of the monarchy in 2008, the palace was opened as the Narayanhiti Palace Museum. The building is best known for the events of 1 June 2001, when members of the royal family were killed there, an event that remains one of the most shocking in Nepal's modern history. In local legend, the palace is also said to be haunted, with reports of unexplained sounds and figures in its corridors, and it is commonly listed among Nepal's haunted places. Those accounts are folklore, not verified fact. The museum preserves the palace's state rooms, throne hall and the belongings of the royal family.
