Nautalle Durbar

Nautalle Durbar (Nepali: नौतले दरबार; sometimes known as Basantapur Durbar (Nepali: बसंतपुर दरबार)) is a palace in Hanuman Dhoka, Kathmandu Durbar Square.

It was built by Prithvi Narayan Shah to commemorate the Unification of Nepal. During the April 2015 Nepal earthquake, the top tiers collapsed.

Nautalle Durbar also served as the early residence of the King of Nepal.
