Dharahara Tower In Kathmandu, Nepal
A general view of the historic Dharahara Tower, also known as Bhimsen Tower, is seen in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 18, 2025. Originally built in 1832 by then Prime Minister Bhimsen Thapa, the nine-storey white tower stands as one of the city's most prominent landmarks before being destroyed in the 2015 earthquake. The reconstructed Dharahara, inaugurated in 2021, now features an observation deck, museum, and fountain area, symbolizing Nepal's resilience and architectural revival after the disaster.
