Singha Durbar (Nepali: सिंहदरवार, lit. 'Lion's Palace') is a palace in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. The palace complex lies in the centre of Kathmandu, to the north of Babar Mahal and Thapathali Durbar and east of Bhadrakali Temple. This palace was built by Chandra Shumsher JBR in June 1908. It houses administrative offices of the Nepali Government, including the Pratinidhi Sabha, the Rastriya Sabha and several government ministries. In 2025, the main building was destroyed in the Gen Z protests, along with the prime minister's office. After Singha Durbar sustained damage during the Gen Z Protest Nepal movement, public discussions have emerged regarding its reconstruction and restoration.
