KATHMANDU: The newly constructed Dharahara in Sundhara, Kathmandu, will be open to the public starting today.

On August 23, the Cabinet approved the temporary opening of the monument in celebration of Constitution Day.

The Ministry of Urban Development directed the Central Project Implementation Unit (Building and Housing) to facilitate visitor access to the tower.

Initially, around 500 visitors will be permitted to climb the tower each day.

Kosh Nath Adhikari, the project head, stated that tickets will be sold on a designated website, allowing reservations for 100 people every half hour starting at 11 AM.

If the website isn’t ready by today, physical tickets will be available on-site.

Entry and parking will be free as of now. Visitors can take two electric elevators and spend approximately 10 minutes in the observation area, where photography and video recording are allowed.

The Dharahara now has 22 floors. It also includes a three-story underground parking facility, an administrative building, a museum, and a garden.

Although construction is 95 percent complete, the tower was inaugurated by PM K.P. Oli during his previous term.

Construction work is still ongoing on the Dharahara, which has not been completed in a decade.

The original structure was destroyed in the powerful earthquake on April 25, 2015.

While it was promised that the main ruins would be preserved, the remnants currently remain in disarray.

The Reconstruction Authority was unable to finish the work on time, leading the Department of Urban Development and Building Construction under the Ministry of Urban Development to take over the project.
