Top Places to Visit in Palpa Tansen.

Tansen Durbar
Tensen Durbar is a magnificent ana-style palace in the heart of the city. The four-story square building has sixty-three rooms enclosing a small courtyard. Built-in 1927 AD by General Pratap Shamsher, it has gone from being the seat of Rana Governors to being the secretariat of the Palpa District. The second storey of the palace in the Gaddi Baithak throne hall still houses some important pieces of Palpa’s history, including the throne and ceremonial sword, and every year it is the location of a ceremony to mark the start of the spring season.

Sitalpati-Shady Rest Place
Sitalpati, an octagonal building in the centre of town, providing both a view and a cool spot out of the sun, was built in 1891-2 by Governor Khadka Shamsher. It is the meeting location for roads, people, and their wares and is situated in a sizable open circular courtyard outside the imposing main palace gate. A. Mul Dhoka This enormous doorway, also known as Baggi Dhoka, leads from Sitalpati to the palace grounds. The largest entryway of its kind measures 30 by 12 feet. Built-in 1891/2 by Governor Khadka Shamsher, whose entrance might have been made on an elephant according to the structure’s enormity, it is now a focal point of seasonal chariot processions and festivities. Similar to Kathmandu, Tensen has a rich temple culture. One might hear bells ringing and the pounding of holy drums beginning early in the morning.

Bhagawati Temple – Mark of victory
The temple is a beautiful two-story pagoda-style building that was rebuilt by Colonel Ujir Singh Thapa, the tenth Governor of Palpa, to commemorate the victory over British forces in 1815 AD/BS. Its location is in the town’s core. Despite its modest size, the temple is of the utmost religious importance. Every August, during Bhadra Krishna Nawami, chariot processions display god statues around the city.

Amar Narayan-Temple of lord Vishnu
The temple, which was constructed in 1807 AD by Amar Singh Thapa, the first governor of Palpa, is a pagoda-style masterpiece of Nepali culture with brass plates, a gold dome, and sensual woodcarving. The temple is encircled by a one-meter stone wall that locals refer to as the Great Wall of Palpa. Every morning and evening, worshippers recite holy Bhajan recitals aloud.

Ganesh temple – the god of success
The Ganesh temple, also known as Siddi Binayak or Shreenagar, was constructed in 1920 AD/BS and is devoted to the elephant god of success. On Tuesdays, it is particularly busy with students and people starting new businesses who come to present Laddu, or sweet balls, to Lord Ganesh. The temple, which is located on the southern slope of the hill just above town, hosts an annual celebration during Bhadra, which lasts from mid-August to mid-September, during which there is a chariot parade. Some people think it’s related to the Sen Kings of Palpa.

Surrounding Area Shreenagar
An absolutely exquisite vantage point from which to view Nepal is accessible through the Nature Mede Tower, a 30-minute climb or a quick drive from Tansen Bazaar. The best times to enjoy the views are in the morning when the hill is covered with dense fog, like a heap of cotton, or in the afternoon before sunset. At 1515 meters, the hilltop park and forests of Srinagar are surrounded by scenic and natural beauty and offer breathtaking views of giant snow-capped mountains—Dhaulagiri, the four Annapurnas, Nilgiri, Tukuche, Manaslu, and Ganesh Himal, as well as the renowned Machhapuchhre twin fishtail peaks.

The view to the south includes the breathtaking Madi Valley, the sweep of the Tinau River Valley, a wall of lush mountains and canyons, and the expansive Tarai Plains. The grassland and pine forest on Sheenagar Hill are both wide and lush. Made up of viewpoints, picnic spots, camping facilities, as well as meditation spots and statues of Buddha, the park is one of the most picturesque spots in western Nepal.

Palpa Ranighat
In 1892 AD/1949 BS, Commander-in-Chief and Governor Khadka Shamsher constructed Nepal’s Taj Mahal, the Ranimhal Palace, in honour of his beloved Queen Tej Kumari. The complex, which is situated on a sizable rock bed near the bank of the raging Kali Gandaki river, includes a sizable main building surrounded by terraced gardens, stone walls, and a modest shrine. Another well-liked short hike is to Ranighat. The trail follows the Bharangdi River and passes through a picturesque gorge, mountain brooks, sloping hills covered in forest, and the elephant rock and Baikuntha Pahad’s rock face. Along the journey, you can find food, water, tea, and cold local drinks.

Bhairav than temple
Palpa Bhairab is a temple on a hilltop that can be reached in two hours by foot or in thirty minutes by car. It is located 9 kilometres west of Tansen and is well-known for its enormous trident. The well-known temple was renovated by General Pratap Shamsher, who also replaced its gold-plated brass ceiling, offerings, and Tuesday offerings of Rot rice cakes and sacrifices. According to tradition, the statue of Bhairab is kept so secret that priests even have to worship it from behind a curtain. Its appearance is too terrifying to tolerate and could be lethal. Bhairab devotees can see his silver mask.

Ghorbanda-kumal Gau
Village of Potter If you want to witness how pottery is made differently in Nepal, you should stop at the village of Ghorbanda on the way to Pokhara, which is about a one-hour walk from the United Mission Hospital. In contrast to traditional western potters’ workshops, where the relatively small potter’s wheel is driven by foot, the Kumal people (potters) spin a carriage-size potter’s wheel. Since the wheel eventually starts to falter and come to a stop, like a spinning top, they must act quickly.

Traditional water jugs, pots, and “handa” are among the products made here (a vessel with holes in the bottom; used for brewing rakshi, which is Nepali brandy). These days, I make miniature bowls for organic samples for the United Mission Hospital to earn extra money. Ramdi A half-day walk through the fertile landscape shaded by terraced rice fields (if you are lucky, you will see monkeys) leads you down to Ramdi on the bank of the Kali Gandaki.

Here, the road to Pokhara crosses the river on a cantilever bridge. For final rites for their departed loved ones, they carry them to Ramdi, a “ghat” (cremation location). In addition, Ramdi is well known for its cave shrine, where farmers from the nearby villages donate milk in exchange for the safety of their animals from jackals and leopards. We suggest you take a bus back to Tansen.

Ridi Bazaar is also a Top Place to Visit in Palpa Tansen.
Ridi Bazaar is one of the holiest places for Hindus in Nepal and is situated in the vicinity of Tansen. Pilgrims from Nepal and India travel to Ridi to take holy baths and do temple worship. Ridi is a sacred location at the meeting point of the Ridi Khola stream and the river Kali Gandaki.

In addition, people come and stay here, just like at Pashupatinath in Kathmandu, to pass away in front of this revered site and be cremated near the banks of the sacred Kali Gandaki. Furthermore, Ridi is the location for the biggest yearly fair in the area. Mukunda Sen, the King of Palpa, is credited with founding the Rishikesh Mandir, the most well-known temple in this area.

The temple’s initial shape has changed as a result of numerous modifications. The god Rishikesh’s statue was discovered in the river by Mukunda Sen when he took a sacred bath in the Kali Gandaki. The statue, then, was the size of an infant boy but had developed to adulthood since it was installed in the temple. The walk down to Ridi will take approximately five hours and is rewarded by a beautiful landscape. We suggest you take a bus back to Tansen.
