Ratna Park

Located in central Kathmandu, this public park is situated between Rani Pokhari and Tundikhel. Originally designed for children and named after a queen, it serves as a green space for resting and walking within the busy city center.

Getting There

The park is located in the heart of the city. From central Kathmandu, it is accessible via short taxi rides or local transport. Depending on your starting point in the center, travel time typically takes a few minutes.

Visit Duration

Visitors generally spend 30 to 60 minutes here, as it is primarily used as a spot for a brief break rather than a full-day destination.

When to Visit

The park is best visited during the morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat. It can get crowded during public holidays and weekends. The most pleasant seasons for outdoor visits are spring and autumn.

  • Ghanta Ghar: 0.3km
  • Asan: 0.4km
  • Sankata Temple: 0.4km
  • Pancha Kashmiri Takiya Masjid: 0.4km
