We loved the\u00a0grandeur\u00a0of Victoria House,\u00a0which is a stunning neoclassical landmark<\/strong> in one of the capitals most historical areas.\u00a0Constructed in the 1920’s<\/strong> and extensively remodelled in 2003, it has contemporary \u00a0feel within an opulent structure which was a perfect match for the style of Sanyukta Shrestha wedding gown collections<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
