Operate Clock Tower

Ghantaghar (clock tower), located in the heart of Kathmandu, stands as a witness to the modern history of Nepal. The capital's landmark itself heralds modernity. The then Rana prime minister Bir Shumsher ordered the construction of the iconic tower on the model of Big Ben in London, showing the Western influence. But it had to be rebuilt after the 1934 earthquake. As a timekeeper, its bells chimed hour after hour. The Ghantaghar reflects architectural ingenuity, combining international engineering and Nepali craft.
