Shahid Gate
Shahid Gate
Shahid Gate is a memorial arch erected in 1961 to honor the four martyrs who resisted the Rana regime. The structure features statues of these figures alongside a statue of the king. Visitors go here to see a physical representation of a specific chapter in Nepal's modern political history.
Getting There
The gate is located in the central area of the city. From the city center, it is accessible via a short taxi ride or a walk, typically taking 10 to 15 minutes depending on the exact starting point and local traffic conditions.
Visit Duration
Because it is a monument located along a thoroughfare rather than a large complex, most visitors spend approximately 20 to 30 minutes observing the statues and the architecture.

The site is open to the air and accessible throughout the day. It can get crowded during public holidays or national anniversaries related to the martyrs. To avoid the heaviest traffic and crowds, visiting during early morning hours is recommended.
