Bhimsen Tower is a taller building in Kathmandu, from which you can overlook the crowded scene in the old city. The tower is as high as 52 meters, straight into the blue sky, and it can be seen from a distance, which is very eye-catching. The watchtower, also known as the Dakhal Tower, was built in 1832 by the order of the then Prime Minister, Bimson Thapa.

Dharahara is its Nepali name. Its famous s for its historical effects from Bhimsen Thapa. It was supposed to be the tallest point nepal. Its located in busy area near Sundhara.
Built in 1832, the 62-meter-high tower is the tallest building in Kathmandu, with tickets for foreigners reaching Rs 299. There is no elevator, visitors must climb 213 steps on foot, the tower is Shiva's little shrine, and the observation deck is located at 200 steps. There is no doubt that this is the best viewing spot in Kathmandu, with a clear view of Duba Square and the Queen's Pool in the distance, and the large playground under the tower and the dried-up Sundhara Pool.
From the photos, you can see how magnificent the tower was. It is said that you can see the beauty of the whole of Nepal when you climb the tower, but unfortunately it has been completely destroyed by the earthquake, there is no way to rebuild, only the ruins can be seen.
I think it's quite general, mainly because his appearance looks unattractive, like a lighthouse, and has no ethnic or religious characteristics, but it seems to be the tallest building nearby.
When I went there, the tower was closed, and I couldn't go in. I could only look at it on the periphery, but a small market was formed nearby. Everyone would still come over and tourists would still punch in.
