Ghanta Ghar
Ghanta Ghar-Clock Tower is one of the highest cemented tower as well as Public clock in Surkhet. It was built by the help of Japan Government.
It has rich architectural appearance and situated in the middle of Birendranagar City. A small park is around the Ghanta Ghar which is very green as well as clean. This cemented high tower is also the landmark of Surkhet.
Many public events are held around the Ghanta Ghar. Now days, a famous Chaat Street is getting popular for hanging with friends near Ghanta Ghar. This small Chaat Street has become a place where one can meet his/her friends and share some time with hot and spicy Chotu’s Chaat who always try to make something delicious in his stall.
Around the Ghanta Ghar, local residents are found selling fresh vegetables, fruits and other local products like Kaphal, Aiselu, Peaches, Aaru Bookhara, Cucumbers, Guava, Sugarcane, Timmur, and Citrus products which gives a very homely feeling while seeing this scene.
This Ghanta Ghar is very useful when people don’t have watch at night because it gives alarm after every hour and tells time to residents.
Proper maintenance, paint to tower, securing its area and making Clock Tower’s services (time and alarm) always up is the main expectation from Municipality of Birendranagar which is never done.
