In the middle of the Rudrasagar lake, there is a fairytale-like palace called Neermahal which means water palace. This palace was built by Maharaja Bir-Bikram Kishore Manikya in 1930 for his summer vacations. With a fort like look it appears as it is floating in the lake and in the night when the lights of the palace are switched on the sight of the palace and the reflection of the lights and palace in the lake is just speechless.
