Rani Mahal of Palpa is called the Taj Mahal of Nepal. This chateau
ensconced on the bank of Kali Gandaki river (7 km from district
headquarters Tansen) was built by the then Palpa governor, Khadga
Shumsher Rana, in memory of his wife Tejkumari more than a hundred
years ago. Rani Mahal has long stood as an enduring symbol of love,
though unrecognised and neglected.
