Just two minutes away
from Thamel is the beautiful restored Garden of
Dreams (Swapna Bagaicha). Field master Kaiser
Samsher (1892-1964), whose palace the garden
compliment, built the Garden of Dreams in the 1920's
after a visit to several Edwardian estates in
England, using funds won from his father (the prime
minister) in an epic Rs 100,000game of cowries
shells. The garden and its pavilion was neglected to
the point of abolishment but later it was
revitalized over a six year period by the same
Austrian financed team who formed Patan Museum.
There exists innumerable stunning things around
which captivates our eyes, mind and heart. The
original gate, a marvel inscription from Omar
Khayam's Rubaiyat, the innovative fountains and
ponds, and a quirky hidden garden fantasizes our
mind. It is a perfect destination to relish the
tranquility around as well as to genuinely savor the
serenity. It also can be a place for gathering with
the loved ones or friends as a picnic. Dwarika's
operates an unruffled Kaisar Cafe here occasional
cultural events and exhibitions too.
