In the midst of Kathmandu’s urban bustle, the tranquil oasis of the Kaiser Mahal Garden of Dreams stands as an enduring legacy of the extraordinary vision of one man: Field Marshall Keshar Sumsher Jung Bahadur Rana (1892-1964).
Located just across the street from the former royal palace at the entrance of the Thamel tourist area, this magnificent garden was created in the European neo-classical style and themed to pay homage to Nepal’s six seasons. Today the gardens offer a respite from the busy city, and a place to enjoy history, style, and a delicious bite to eat.
