KATHMANDU: The newly reconstructed Dharahara tower has quickly become a popular attraction since its reopening on Thursday, drawing large crowds eager to experience the iconic landmark.
However, with only 600 tickets available each day, many visitors have faced challenges in securing their spot to climb the 22-story structure.
The ticketing system, introduced to manage the high demand, allows visitors to purchase tickets online via the official website.
This has helped streamline the process, but with daily tickets often selling out, some hopeful climbers have been left disappointed.
The Department of Urban Development and Building Construction, which oversees the management of Dharahara, has encouraged visitors to book their tickets in advance to avoid long lines and potential turnaways at the gate.
Over 2,000 people visited the tower on its opening day alone, despite the limit of 600 tickets per day.
Many visitors, including elderly people, children, and even those with disabilities, have been among the first to experience the views from the new Dharahara, which was rebuilt following its destruction in the 2015 earthquake.
The tower, which now stands taller and more modern than before, has been a symbol of resilience for the country, blending its historical significance with modern amenities.
The surrounding around Dharahara has been designed to accommodate large crowds, with facilities such as parking and seating areas, but the ticket limit remains in place to ensure visitor safety and an enjoyable experience.
Tickets are available for booking through the official website www.dharhara.gov.np, and advance bookings are strongly recommended, as demand remains high.
