Nautalle Durbar (Nepali: नौतले दरबार; sometimes known as Basantapur Durbar (Nepali: बसंतपुर दरबार)) is a palace in Hanuman Dhoka, Kathmandu Durbar Square.[1]

It was built by Prithvi Narayan Shah to commemorate the Unification of Nepal.[2] During the April 2015 Nepal earthquake, the top tiers collapsed.[3][4]

Nautalle Durbar also served as the early residence of the King of Nepal.[5]
