Srinagar Park

Can be a bitr noisey/busy on Saturdays with Nepalese picnicing but still the jewel of Tanzen. With hiking trails weaving in and out of the forest on a clear day you can see the peaks of Machhapuchhare/Fishtail, the Annapurnas, Gauri Shankar and Daulagiri. Its also a small hike of about a kilometer from the bazaar, up hill.
Palpa Ranighat Visit the old ruins of a palace set on a massive rock bed at the bank of the Kali Gandaki river for viewing palace garden, stone walls, and a small shrine. This palace was built in 1892 by Governor Khadka Shamser in memory of his wife Tej Kumari, and is often called the Taj Mahal of Nepal. It is a 2 hour hike down from Srinagar Park. The path is well marked, the way/walking isnot difficult and of course has wonderful forest and village sceneries and chances for wildlife/bird viewing
