Dharahara literally means tower. This 59.29 m. tower was built in 1883 AD by Bhimsen Thapa, Prime Minister at that time. Thus the tower is also known as Bhimsen Stambha. Now the tower is open for the public to climb on top and viewing Kathmandu. Sundhara, the golden water fountain, was also made by the same person around the same period and is situated at the foot of the tower. The place can be approached very easily as it is the main city area near Sahid Gate Bus park.
