Interesting that park has enterance fee, both for foreigners and local people. It's a small park but like many other places, good for birdwatching.

Beautiful place for tracking and fun in tilagufa municipality kalikot

The park's outskirts are extremely noisy. The outskirts are clogged with street markets and public vehicles horns. Also surrounded by illiterate and abusive individuals. However, the park itself is clean and well-kept. There are no issues within the park. This is a fantastic palace for mind relaxation. Peaceful surroundings, natural beauty, open space, and tastefully decorated. I adore this location.

Nice place to be when in Kathmandu. This centrally located park is very peaceful but there is an entrance fee. The wifi there is free but does not work around the perimeter of the park. There may be few scammers out there, be aware.

It gives a little bit fresh air and nature experiences of Kathmandu people! But it should allow some of food and beverages to visitores and have to manage not to be dirty as well!

Mesmerizing, Positive Vibes, Amazing views Peaceful Ambience

It was earlier known as Ratna Park. It was named after then queen Ratna Rajya Laxmi Devi Shah. And it was built by then king Mahendra Bir Bikram Shah.

🌹 शंखधर उद्यान नामाकरणको गरिमा -- रत्नपार्क विवादभित्रको यथार्थता 🎁 पञ्चायतका प्रणेता राजा महेन्द्रकी कान्छी रानी रत्नको नामबाट ल्याईएको पार्कको नाम रत्नपार्क यस समय चर्चाको विषय बनेको छ। काठमाडौंको टुँडिखेलभित्रको एक भागलाई रत्नपार्क नाम दिएर राजा महेन्द्रले चलाएको रत्नपार्कको वास्तविक नाम तिंख्य अर्थात टुँडिखेल हो । यही तिंख्य नै पञ्चायत कालमा रत्नपार्क हुंदै हाल तीन वर्षयतादेखि त्यसको नाम शंखधर उद्यान भएको छ । रत्नपार्कमा राष्ट्रिय विभूति शंखधर साख्वाः र पञ्चायतकालमा वामपन्थी मशिहाको रूपमा चर्चित जननेता पदमरत्न तुलाधरको शालिक अनावरण भएसँगै यस ठाउँको नामको विषयमा चर्चा भएको हो । यश पार्कलाई शंखधर उद्यान बनाईएकोमा एक समूहले विरोध गरेको छ जुन शंखधर उद्यानलाई रत्नपार्क नै कायम गरिनुपर्छ भनिएको छ। यसबाट जाहेर हुन्छ कि यहाँ ठाउँको जायज नाम परिवर्तनमा पनि विरोध हुने गर्दछ । तर अहिले शंखधर उद्यानलाई स्वीकार नगरी असन्तुष्ट हुने समूहले ३ वटा प्रश्नको उत्तर दिन आवश्यक हुन्छ । १. के रत्नपार्क नै त्यस ठाउँको मौलिक नाम हो ? २. पूर्व मुमारानीको नामबाट राखिएको रत्नपार्क साँच्चिकै मौलिक नाम नै हो त ? ३. काठमाडौं खाल्डोमा फिब्व ख्यःबाट माइतीघर भयो, जाहोला ख्योबाट जावलाखेल, थँबहीबाट ठमेल, कांलाबाट गठ्ठाघर र यस्तै थुप्रै नै । यति धेरै ठाउँको नाम परिवर्तन भईरहँदा तिंख्यःबाट रत्नपार्क बनेको स्थल समयोचित शंखधर उद्यान बन्न पुग्दा मौलिक तिंख्यः भन्दा एकाथरीलाई कथितरूपमा किन दुखेसो हो ? अहिलेको शंखधर उद्यान र बीचको कालखण्डमा रत्नपार्क भनिएको स्थल उहिलेको तिंख्यः नै हो जुन कुरा बुझ्न जरूरी छ। यो ठाउँको नाउँ जनजिब्रोमा झुण्डिनुको मुख्य कारक हो रत्नपार्क बसस्टप । बसका सहचालकले ठाउँहरूका नाम बढी उच्चारण गर्ने हुँदा जनजिब्रोमा झुण्डिन पुगेका थुप्रै उदाहरण छन् । फिब्वख्यःमा राखिएको माइतीघर चलचित्रको पोस्टरको आधारले माइतीघर बनेको उदाहरणदेखि लिएर बबरमहललाई रातोभाले, पुरानो सिनामंगललाई पेप्सिकोला, घलांमोबाट काँडाघारी हुँदै सनसिटी अपार्टमेन्ट आदि । समाजले नामाकरण गरेको तिंख्यःलाई शक्ति र सत्ताको बलले उहिले रत्नपार्क बनाईएको थियो । अहिलेको शंखधर उद्यान उहिलेको तिंख्यः नै हो भन्ने धेरैलाई थाहा नहुन सक्छ । सहचालकले रत्नपार्कको ब्राण्ड बनाईदिएकोले अहिलेको शंखधर उद्यान उहिलेको तिंख्य हो भन्ने कुरा नयाँ पुस्तालाई थाहा नभएको हो । कुनै पुरानो मौलिक नाउँ असान्दर्भिक परिवर्तन गर्न हुँदैन । पहिचानसँग सम्बन्धित नाउँ परिवर्तन गरिंदा मौलिकतामा प्रश्नचिन्ह लाग्छ । तर रत्नपार्क आफैंमा मौलिक नाउँ होईन । मौलिकता यथावत राख्ने हो भने तिंख्यः नै बनाईनु पर्दछ भन्ने आवाज बुलन्द हुनुपर्नेमा बीचको कालखण्डमा राखिएको रत्नपार्कको प्रश्न कसरी आउँछ र ! अमुक पार्टीका एकाथरी आस्थावानहरूले आधा शताब्दी पुगी नसकेको इतिहासमा चासो देखाउँदा सयौँ वर्षको विरासत बोकेको मौलिक नाउँ परिवर्तन गरिंदा चुईंक्क सम्म किन बोलेनन् त ? रैथानेहरूका अनेक पहिचान पहिले देखि आजसम्म निरन्तर मेटिंदै आईरहँदा ती लेखाजोखा गर्नुको साटो अमुक पार्टीका अन्धभक्तहरूको चेतना गुम्न पुगेकै होला त ? विचारणीय छ। राजनीतिक दलको प्रतिनिधित्त्व गर्ने अधिकांश नेता तथा रैथाने बासिन्दाले तिंख्यःको भागलाई हाल राष्ट्रकै विभूतिको नाउँमा शंखधर उद्यानको गौरवपूर्ण नामाकरण गरेकोमा हार्दिक स्वागत गरेका छन् । तत्कालीन नेपालमा गरिब किसानको ऋण मोचन गर्दै ने.सं.को प्रवर्तन गर्ने महामानवको नाउँमा स्थापित गराईएको शंखधर उद्यानमा सच्चा राष्ट्रभक्तलाई असन्तोष भई दुख्न नपर्ने हो। आम सर्वसाधारणदेखि सामाजिक अभियन्ताहरूलाई पनि शंखधर उद्यान नै सहर्ष स्वीकार्य छ। त्यसैले पनि काठमाडौं महानगरले शंखधर उद्यानमा राष्ट्रिय विभूति शंखधर साख्वाः तथा नागरिक अगुवा पदमरत्नको शालिक अनावरण गर्न जायज ठानेको हो । हर सकारात्मक परिवर्तनलाई नकारात्मक राजनीतिक मुद्दा बनाउन आवश्यक हुँदैन । राजनीतिक दलले जनताकै मुद्दालाई उठाउनुपर्ने हो । तर रत्नपार्कबाट शंखधर उद्यान बनेको विषयलाई अमुक पार्टीले निहीत स्वार्थको लागि मात्र मामिला बनाई असहमति जनाएकोमा भने दुईमत छैन । सत्तापक्ष र प्रतिपक्षका अधिकांश नेता, रैथाने, सामाजिक अभियन्ता लगायतले शंखधर उद्यानलाई सगर्व स्वीकार गरिरहँदा अमुक पार्टीको गुनासो जनताप्रति कत्तिको जायज र उत्तरदायी छ भन्ने बुझ्न पनि जरूरी हुन आउँछ । जनतामुखी र जिम्मेवार पार्टीको मामिला यो हुन सक्दैन वा हुनु हुँदैन । त्यसैले विरोधको नाममा विरोध मात्र गर्ने होईन कि जनताको भावना अनुकूल मुद्दा बनाईनुपर्छ भन्ने नै हो; जसले पार्टीलाई उँभो लगाउनेछ । कुनै वंश र परिवारमा सीमित रहेको मामिला उठाउँदा जनताको भावनामा चोट पर्नु हुँदैन, नागरिकको इच्छा मार्न पनि पाइँदैन । धन्यवाद । ✊ १७ मंसीर २०७७

Well maintained and nice place to take a break from all the hussle and bustle of the ratna park area. Although I have no complaint regarding the place, I would suggest the management board of this park to get and provide a locker service for the visitors which inturn would retain dwellers to spend more time thereby utilizing the motive of this park fully. Plus putting more charging points around the benches might be helpful too. A big thank you for such a good maintenance to the employees and management board/committee

I really love the chaos of that area of Kathmandu as I can roam the streets taking in day-to-day lives without being accosted by vendors to buy products, pick pockets or beggars demanding money. If you do need a break from that, however, then it is a good place just to chill out and relax for a bit before heading back into that chaos.

The old name of this park is Ratnapark Park. Which is now called ShankhaDhar Park. This park is located between Bhirkuti Mandap, Bagbazar Bridge, Army Hospital, Electricity Authority and Ramipokhri. Nowadays this park is maintained in a great way. In this park you can make video TikTok, capture Photo, morning and evening Walk and sit or gossip comfortably with your family.

Best place to take a rest after travelling in a busy and noisy ratnapark area. There are beautiful gardens with flowers, benches , waterfalls, swings and trees . You can have a dating or spend some time there with your loved one and relatives. You have to buy tickets, a bottle of water to stay out of thrust and some breakfast also. I have been there with my loved one around 6 years ago and have really good memories with this park. I miss you my love 💕

Sankhadhar Park also called Ratna Park. If you wanna have your mind refreshed after walking on a sunny day, then this is your one-stop place to feel relaxed and freshen up your mind. Parks got enough walkway to spend time walking and exercising. Got a huge garden area to spend time with friends and family.

This is the wonderful palace for mind relaxing. Peace environment, natural beauty, open area & well decorated. I just love this place.

Ratnapark is a well-known public park located in Kathmandu, Nepal. It is a popular gathering place for both locals and tourists and serves as a central hub in the city. The park is often used for various events, social gatherings, and as a transit point for people traveling within Kathmandu. It's an important landmark in the city and has historical significance as well. Please note that my knowledge is based on information available up to September 2021, and there may have been developments or changes since then.

The park provided a serene escape with its lush greenery, well-maintained walking paths, and scenic views, creating a peaceful atmosphere perfect for relaxation and outdoor activities. Ratnapark, despite being a popular and bustling spot, managed to maintain its allure with a harmonious blend of vibrant crowds and a central location, catering to everyone's enjoyment with its lush greenery, well-maintained walking paths, and crowded views.

Fresh and lively environment in middle of buildings and polluted roads. At least we can enjoy in peace there.

awesome place to visit with friends, family or anyone. Nice scenes and good for photography. I would recommend to visit here as the ticket price is also very low.

It's very accurate getting me to the right place. You can see reviews for businesses immediately when entering their address. There's often a Google Street image, whether the address is business or residential. Depending on your industry, this can be helpful in finding the right spot.

It was ok. It is open 1 day per year.

Nice Garment works up

It was previously called as RATNAPARK but now Shankhadhar Park. Park is average with some flowers and trees. Slides and swings are also there for kids. Water ATM outside the park was out of order.

The periphery of the park is very noisy. The periphery is all crowded with street market and public vehicles horn. Also surrounded by illetrate and abusive people. But Inside the park it's clean and well maintained. No any problem inside the park

It's nice place 😉 But not enough.

It's a good place to visit for peace. Some couples makes it a bit annoying. If you're single, it'd be pretty uncomfortable for you to watch the surrounding and environment.

This park is so peace and it there is so much facilities like playing. Running and whatever you like to do . Visit it once 🔂

Also called Ratna Park. Relaxing point in the heart of the city.

Nicely built .. great pla ce to visit.
