Rani Mahal, the Taj Mahal of Nepal, Symbol of LOVE, is located in the banks of Kali Gandaki River in Palpa district of Nepal. This palace was constructed by General Khadga Samsher Rana JBR in 1893. In 1887 General Khadga Samsher Rana was forced to drop his royal titles and was sent to Palpa-Gauda as the Western Commander in Chief of Nepal. At Palpa-Gauda in 1892 Khadga Shumsher's beloved youngest wife Tej Kumari Devi died and within a year Khadga built a palace and named after his wife as Rani Mahal (Literary translates as Queens Palace).
The palace was built at the banks of the Kali Gandaki River, between Syangja and Palpa. Situated at the distance of 18 km from Tansen, the palace looks attractive sitting on a massive rock at a secluded and a quiet place. There are a dozen of rooms, beautiful ponds, a temple, wonderful garden surrounding the area, guest rooms, a kitchen etc. in the palace. Since the palace was built on the edge of the jungle, the jungle was also named as Rani Ban (queen’s jungle) and the stairs leading to the river as Rani Ghat.
The river also possesses a religious importance as it is believed that touching the water of the river provides salvation to any sinners. Away from the hustle and bustle of the Tansen Bazaar, sitting on the riverbank with the most elegant color, a neo-classic art and architecture lies the eye catching palace where every details project the ounce of love. The forests, the ponds, the stair cases and the river banks, everything embodies the affection of Khadga Shumsher towards his late wife. Rani Mahal looks magical, it is a jewel of Palpa and a true epitome of love.
Thus next time you visit Palpa, do not forget to hike down from Tansen towards the bank of Kaligandaki to witness this untouched beauty resting peacefully on the lap of a forest symbolizing love and devotion Currently, there is motorable road to Rani Mahal and very few buses run from Tansen to Ranimahal.
