Hetauda, Nepal History
Among the popular attractions of Hetauda is the unique Martyr Memorial Park that was constructed to honor the martyrs of Nepal, including the ones who lost their lives since the time of British colonial wars to the ones who overthrew the autocratic Panchayat system in 1989. The Park has become a tourist spot since its completion in 1994. The main attraction of the park are the sculptures of these martyrs that are sculpted on one big boulder. The sculpting of the faces was accomplished by the student volunteers of Nepal Lalit Campus. The park is mostly famous as a picnic spot among younger generations as there are not any alternatives in town other than the popular Nepalese custom of going on a picnic on the bank of a river. The park is considered by many as a popular escape from the hustle and bustle of the city life. Now the park has zoo which consists some of the endangered and some common wild animals from Common Monkey to Leopard. Also has swimming pool which is popular among youth during summer days. Some game activities in the weekends are also a major attraction for the kids and some other interested people as well.
Similarly, Makwanpur Gadhi is another site east of the city, a fort of historic importance dating back to the unification process of Nepal. Prithvi Narayan Shah, the king that led the unification of the country into a greater Nepal, was married to the princess of Makawanpur whose father was a king of the Sen dynasty that ruled Makawanpur. Historians observe that this marriage, in fact, was a political strategy by King Prithvi Narayan Shah, who saw the strategic benefit of an alliance with Makwanpur to encircle Kathmandu Valley.
