Between the hours of 9-9, you can take a stroll through the Garden of Dreams, Kathmandu’s Eden. Take a step back in time, as you gander through the extensive mown lawns, the tranquil ponds and white Neo-classic architecture. Crafted well enough to think you are no longer in the mystical lands of the Yeti and the spine of the world, but in a European capital some one hundred years ago.
Built in the 1920s, this garden fell into disrepair and has since taken a new breath of life. Where once it was an overgrown ruin, now, a Garden of Dreams once more.
This is a perfect addition to the sightseeing of Kathmandu due to its location and a café attached to it. Use this quit, peaceful green space to get away from the rumbling motorbike and heavy hustle for a hour or two before launching yourself into more adrenaline filled activities.
The garden, as stated before, was designed in a Neo-classical style. It was created by a Field Marshall Kaiser Shumsher Jung Bahadur Rana, as a private garden for his leisure time. This obvious European design, along with Nepal’s close ‘friendship’ this the UK. Makes this garden more than just a peaceful location to get away form the business of everyday Kathmandu life, it is a physical historical archive of Nepal’s military and political history.
It costs a check 200r to enter this flanked Eden.
