Patan Durbar Museum Prepares to Launch Online Ticket Booking System

Lalitpur. It will now be possible to book tickets online from home for visiting the Patan Durbar Museum, a historical and cultural heritage site listed on the World Heritage List. The museum administration has stated that preparations to implement the online ticketing system, targeting both domestic and foreign tourists, are in the final stages.

Suresh Man Lakhe, Chief of the Patan Durbar Museum, informed that the online ticket booking system is currently in the testing phase. According to him, tickets are currently distributed through two counters located on the museum premises, and the facility to pay ticket fees via QR code has already been introduced.

“Until now, there was a compulsion to buy tickets from physical counters,” said Chief Lakhe, “Now, by enabling booking tickets using online means from home, it will be even more convenient for tourists. We are preparing to formally launch this system soon; it is currently being tested.”

The museum administration believes that once the online ticketing system is operational, the hassle of waiting in long queues will be eliminated, time will be saved, and tourist management will become more effective. It is expected that this will provide significant relief, especially during peak tourist seasons.

The Patan Durbar Museum was observed by 313,300 tourists in the year 2025. A total of 105,300 foreign tourists, including 43,053 tourists from SAARC nations, observed the museum.
