Stop by Shaheed Minar opposite The Oberoi Grand and revisit a part of history. This 48-metre high structure (earlier known as Ochterlony Monument) was founded in 1848 to honour the triumph of Commander of the British East India Company Major General Sir David Ochterlony against the Gorkhas in the Anglo-Nepalese War of 1825. It was, later, renamed to Shaheed Minar (Martyr's Tower) as a tribute to the sacrifices made by Indian freedom fighters.
You need prior permission from the police if you wanna climb the 218 steps to the top of the tower.
