1. Budha Subba Temple

3 km from city center

Temple

Budha Subba is the Kirat shrine Dharan is built around, and the thing people come to see is the bamboo grove behind it: every stem is blunt, with no growing tip, which local belief attributes to an arrow loosed by the Kirat king buried here. There is no idol inside, only a mound and a trident. Eastern Nepalis stop here before weddings and exams, which makes it busiest on auspicious dates rather th (Read More)an weekends.

Viewpoint

Bhedetar sits at about 1,420 metres on the ridge above Dharan, sixteen kilometres up a road that climbs out of the heat in half an hour. The draw is the change: mist, tea stalls, and a view back over the Terai that runs into India on a clear day. Charles Point, named after the Prince of Wales who stopped here in 1980, is the spot everyone photographs. Take a jacket, because it is genuinely cold.

3 km from city center

7. Namaste Falls

Waterfall

Namaste Falls is in Bhedetar, about 23 kilometres from Dharan. The waterfall takes its name from the 'namaste' shape it forms as it drops roughly 80 metres down a rocky hillside.
