the most picturesque natural
attractions in the kingdom.
It is located virtually in the
geographical center of Nepal.
Located on the main road between
Kathmandu and Bhairawa, there
may be no other place in the
world from where Great Himalayas
peaks can be admired from such

Temple on its well-kept platform
