Basnet at the Flagging Off Ceremony at Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport, Varanasi, India on 29 June 2018.

Namaste and welcome on board Buddha Air!

I
am happy to let you know that Buddha Air has
added another ATR 72-500 to its fleet. With the
call sign 9N-AMU, the aircraft will strengthen our
domestic and international connectivity and increase
frequencies to our destinations. Furthermore,
with the fleet addition, the on-time performance
of our flights in the morning till 10 am and after 5
pm has improved because there are fewer aircraft
movements during this period.
From 29 June 2018, we began our direct flights
and tour packages from Kathmandu to Varanasi. It
was an honor to have Uttar Pradesh’s Chief Minister
Yogi Adityanath at the Flagging Off Ceremony at Lal
Bahadur Shastri Airport, Varanasi, India. We will
have two weekly flights from Kathmandu to Varanasi
every Monday and Friday.
Khaptad is a place of immense spiritual and
religious importance. The convenient gateway
to Khaptad is through Dhangadhi. Read all about
it on our cover story, “Spiritual Khaptad”. Bipin
Pokhrel, our aircraft technician had set his sights
on conquering Everest. You can read about his
amazing journey in, “The Magnificence of Everest
Even At 8383 m.” With a keen eye set on ‘medical
tourism,’ Dr. Upendra Mahato’s Nepal Mediciti is set
to revolutionize the health sector in Nepal. Buddha
Air is proud to be in partnership with Nepal Mediciti.
You can learn more about Dr. Upendra in, “Defining
and Redefining Development Since 1990.”
Kathmandu Valley is full of unique eccentricities
from its food to its architecture. Take delight in
learning about the Newari architecture in, “The Taps
Tell A Story” and about the herbal.
We love to hear from you as well. If you have a
story to share or a photo that you want published
in our upcoming issues of Yatra, please send them
at yatra@buddhaair.com or post them on our social
media platforms.
Thank you for flying with us. We hope you have
a pleasant flight.

The Taps
Tell a Story
P atan is home to some of the finest collection of arts and crafts in the whole
of Nepal. While its palaces and temples are recognized in many travel
guides and books, the traditional stone spouts have not received the
same acknowledgement. Known as dhunge dhara in Nepali or hiti
in Nepal Bhasha, some of these stone spouts still provide water to
the residents of Patan and are a respite to jaywalkers on hot summer
days, while others have dried up. Yet, they are each worth a visit for the
architectural marvel they are, and the intricate carvings they boast. Here are
six stone spouts in Patan that you need to visit and their stories you need to hear.

MangaHiti:Located in the
Patan Durbar Square, right across
Bhimsen Temple is the wonderfully
carved Manga:Hiti. The sunken, lotus-
shaped water source flaunts three
beautiful stone spouts that have been
designed in the shape of makara; a
mythical crocodile-like beast. From
it flows crystal clear water and forms
a refreshing pool, especially during
monsoon when water is in abundance.
One of the oldest and the most
important stone spouts in the valley —
historically, culturally, and religiously —
water from Manga:Hiti is still used for
daily rituals in the neighboring Krishna
Temple and is also used to revive
Hiranyakashyap during Kartik Naach.   Alkwo Hiti:Amongst the many
NugaH iti: Also known as
Sundhara because of the gold-plated
metal wrapped around it, Nuga:Hiti,
like most of the stone spouts in Patan
was built during the Licchavi period.
Although initially a regular stone-
carved spout, the gold-plated metal
was added later on during the Rana
period. For long, the community relied
on the hiti for all its water needs.
However, the water flow has been
decreasing over the years, being
consistent only during rainy seasons.
hities in Patan, Alkwo Hiti, with its
five spouts, is perhaps the sole stone
spout complex that has continuously
been discharging water. Located in
Ikhachhen Tole, an inscription near
the hiti dates its establishment back to
the Malla era. Although evidence of its
engineering brilliance — that ensured
no hindrance in the water source for
the hiti — is present, there are also

12
many folklores of tantrism that support its
continuous water flow.   of the stone spouts in Patan, this one has
Nagbahal Hiti:Located in one
of the biggest residential courtyards in
Patan, the hiti in Nagbahal is assumed to
have been constructed in the 8th century.
The hiti is home to three individual stone
spouts and a buddhist shrine. The walls of
the sunken mandala shaped hiti complex
is lined by snake figurines taking after
the name of the courtyard. And while
the hiti may not be the most spectacular
in the list here, it is a stellar example of
conservation. After going uncared for
and having dried up for about a decade,
the hiti was successfully revived in recent
years.
Thapa Hiti:One of the oldest stone
spouts in Patan, Thapa Hiti is believed
to have been built some 900 years ago.
Consisting of three main stone spouts
and one small metal spout, Thapa Hiti
was responsible of serving around 200
houses in the community. But like most
dried out too following encroachment of
several ponds that were its water sources.
While the functionality of the water spout
is in question, the glory of the structure
is still intact, thanks to local conservation
efforts.
Tusha Hiti:Often tagged the
crowned jewel of Patan, the Malla-era
stone spout is located in Sundari Chowk
One of the oldest
stone spouts in
Patan, Thapa Hiti is
believed to have been
built some 900 years
ago
within the Patan Museum and is perhaps
one of the most intricately carved stone
spouts in Nepal. The sunken complex
dates back to 1647 A.D. and flaunts 72
tantric deities and a bronze spout. The
only stone spout on this list that catered
to the royals, it is possible that the water
from this spout was essential to the Malla
kings’ tantric rituals and was not a royal
bath as many guides narrate.
There are 58 recorded stone spouts in
Patan, of which 4 have dried out and 7 are
not in existence any more. As beautiful
as these stone spouts are or were, they
also were reflective of the wisdom,
knowledge and skill the earlier settlers of
Patan had. And although the ever-growing
population of Kathmandu, unplanned
urbanization, and lack of systematic water
supply has degraded their performance,
the aesthetic value they add to the
community still lives on.

Nepal’s Unofficial
Tourism Ambassadors
Meet the vibrant couple who have traveled over 100 times to Nepal
W
riters of dozens of travel
guidebooks on Nepal and
abroad and having visited
Nepal countless times, I met Bob and
Siân , the untiring travel couple and
authors at the garden of Hotel Moonlight
in Kathmandu. They had just returned
from a trekking trip at Dhaulagiri
Sanctuary and were preparing their
guidebook about the trail.
First Footsteps in Nepal
Bob Gibbons was 23 years old
when he first visited Nepal in 1974.
He travelled with a group of university
14
friends from England to Kathmandu in an
old Land Rover, driving overland through
Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and
India. In his hometown library, he had
seen a book ‘A Winter in Nepal’ with a
photograph of Machhapuchhre, which
had inspired him to set off on this journey
to Nepal. “It was a long journey of 100
days, nearly three and half months
overland, through different European
and Asian countries,” Bob recalled.
They camped at Teku on the river bank.
“Freak Street was a busy tourist place
with lots of hippies in those days. Apple
pie shops, chocolate cake shops etc. All
those places are gone now, except for
the Snowman Cafe. Everybody, including
me, went for pie two to three times a
day,” shared Bob.
He was offered a job back in England
due to this travel experience. Later, he
drove overland trucks across Asia, Africa
and South America.
Nepal has changed a lot since those
days, from Thamel’s Freak Street to the
tall buildings and infrastructure. He
became nostalgic as he recalled early
Kathmandu, especially Asan; a busy
little marketplace with an experience
unlike anywhere in the world. He was

Pokhara Street in 1974
concerned about the disappearances
of such places that would be great
tourists attractions if preserved well. The
unpolluted old city of Kathmandu was still
floating in his mind.
When Siân Met Bob
Siân Pritchard - Jones had been
working as a computer systems analyst
for 8 years at companies in UK and New
Zealand. She had decided to return to the
Himalayas for a holiday. She had already
done the Annapurna Circuit in 1982 and
her next planned destination was Kashmir.
“I met Bob for the first time in 1983, on
a trek from Kashmir to Ladakh, where he
was the group leader,” Siân recalled shyly.
They fell in love and the rest is history!
Bob used to travel extensively to
Nepal, Africa, South America and other
parts of the world due to his profession.
He was away for months and only had
time to meet Siân once in a while for short
periods. That’s when Siân decided to leave
A u t h o r ’ s N o t e
Unequivocally, Siân and Bob are
tourism ambassadors for Nepal.
Their continuous efforts and
unfaltering love towards this
country have contributed greatly to
the promotion of Nepal worldwide.
A great salute to them and wish
the couple a good life in their
unwavering travel journey together!
her job in 1984 and become Bob’s full-
time travel companion.
They got married in Kathmandu in 1986
at Dilli Bazaar CDO office. With their purple
thumbprints and signatures on paper, they
legally turned husband and wife and had
a wedding party at Kathmandu Guest
House with their local friends. Parties
and celebrations continued back home in
England with friends and family.
Since then, Siân and Bob have been
visiting Nepal regularly once or twice every
year. Both of them have visited Nepal over
100 times.
As Authors and Their Work
Since they met, they have been leading
Flying from Lukla over Boudhanath, 1975

and organizing treks in the Alps, Nepal
and Sahara and also drove a bus overland
to Nepal. Journeys on an “ancient” Land
Rover (which is only 31 years old!) was
the backbone of several editions for Africa
Overland (Bradt Travel Guide), including
the sixth edition published in 2014.
During their early trips to Nepal, they
worked with Pilgrims Book House for 10
years, helping to write and edit between
their free time between treks. They
remember spending hours and hours
working till 10 pm in the bookshop; reading
and researching Nepal’s history, culture
and religions. They wrote two travel books
on trekking in Tibet and Mustang which
was published by Pilgrims Book House in
1992.
They are currently working on a
new series of trekking guidebooks for

m e moi r
Himalayan Map House titled 'Himalayan
Travel Guides.'
Their Trekking Annapurna Guide
was published by Cicerone in January
2013, with an updated second edition
published in 2017. Bob and Siân were
in Nepal during the 2015 earthquake,
and they had published a book titled,
“Earthquake Diaries: Nepal 2015.” They
also published a series of books titled
16
Kanchi’s Tales,  covering the expeditions
around Nepal seen through the eyes of

Till now, they have writen guidebooks
titled Nepal Himalaya, Kanchenjunga,
Makalu, Everest, Rolwaling, Langtang,
Ganesh Himal, Manaslu & Tsum Valley,
Pokhara Lakeside Camp, 1975
Mustang, Dolpo and Far West published
by Himalayan Map House. Stay tuned for
their publication on Dhaulagiri.
Together For 35 Years
In the summers, they had worked
in the French and Swiss Alps and Nepal.
From 1986 to 1998, Siân and Bob
worked as group leaders for different
travel companies, including Exodus,
Australian Himalayan Expeditions, Sherpa
Expeditions, Explore Worldwide, Ama
Dablam Treks, Malla Treks and Sherpa
Adventure Travel.
They had trekked mostly in regions of
Annapurna and Everest. It was only when
they were assigned to write guidebooks
that they could trek together in other
remote mountain regions.
They remember a fond moment in
the aftermath of Nepal’s first democratic
movement in 1990. A street party was
held in Durbar Marg, and King Birendra
and Queen Aishwarya walked the streets
as normal people. Everybody was happy
and people greeted them with “Hello” and
“Namaste”.
Bob likes Momos, while Siân is fond of
Sherpa Stew and of course, “Dal Bhat with
sag sometimes,” they both smiled.
They believe that improvement in
public health facilities, water supply and
better roads will help to attract more
tourists to Nepal.
The energetic couple say they will
continue visiting this beautiful country
in the future too. They are unsure about
what keeps pulling them to Nepal, but
it’s definitely a combination of nature,
including mountains and rivers, along with
people and the culture.

 Rum D oodl e R e s t au r a n t & B a r
A Place Honoring the
Eccentricity of Bravery
T he name “Rum Doodle” comes from an imaginary mountain
which is assumed to be higher than Mount Everest. The name
is derived from a fictional tale of bravery where a leader of an
expedition conquers the 40,000 ft tall Rum Doodle and shares
his mountaineering mishaps. It explains the skills of a handful of
eccentric English mountaineers.
Rum Doodle Restaurant and Bar is a well-recognized restaurant
in the center of the capital, Kathmandu. The restaurant follows the
pavement of the story “The Ascent of Rum Doodle” and honors
the efforts of Mountaineers in a unique way. “We cater free food
for lifetime to the mountaineers who win a resounding victory
over the Mt. Everest” said the head Chef. “The conqueror of
Everest should claim their offer at Rum Doodle by presenting their
certificate that they receive after climbing Everest.” he continued.
It is after the person shows his certificate, that the restaurant
records them in their long saved log book and gifts them a card
that is validated for a lifetime of free service at Rum Doodle. “The
log helps us keep track. Thus, when the person
revisits Nepal, they just have to show their card
and rest is history!” the chef laughed.
The ambience of the place that
the restaurant holds, makes its visitors
feel at home. From the beginning
of its establishment in 1979,
Rum Doodle has hosted famous
personalities like Edmund Hillary;
the first person to climb Mt. Everest,
Junko Tabei; the first women to conquer Everest and others. The
autographs and pictures of famous personalities who have reached
the top of Everest and have visited Rum Doodle simultaneously are
decoratively placed on the walls of the restaurant as a keepsake of
their memories. Photos and autographs of other brave people are
decorated on the bulletin boards.
Rum Doodle caters not just to the memories of Everest
climbers, but also that of other treks. The ceilings of Rum Doodle
upholds memories of trekkers from different trek destinations.
Trekkers who have been to other famous destinations are given
a hand-made feet of “Yeti” where they jot down their trek
memories. All of those memories are further treasured on the
feet of yeti and decorated on ceiling of the restaurant.
According to the maintained log book, the ratio of foreign and
Nepali trekkers will be equal, highlighting the growth of internal
tourism. “If we get information about any famous personalities
who climbed Everest, Rum Doodle pays a personal visit to them
and honors their bravery over the 8848 m Everest."
Specialities to try at Rum
Doodle include the mouth-
watering Corn Chip with
Salsa, Mushroom Basket and
Chicken Basket.
Meanwhile Pong’s
Revenge is a drink that
dominates in the drinks category.

Tourism
A Memento for a Lifetime
T
ravelers often carry bittersweet
memories of the places they travel
to and what better way to recall their
stories than with the help of a piece of art
that is inked permanently to the skin. Tattoos
are emerging as an interesting way to carry a
keepsake of a destination one has visited.
Travelers visit Nepal to get themselves
inked by renowned tattoo artists. Getting
inked in Nepal costs far less compared to the
western world, which is a driving factor for
their decision to get tattoos. Most people like
to get inked because it reminds them of their
fond memories of Nepal.

M ohan Gurung, a tattoo artist from
Nepal has gained international
fame with his unique tattoos. His tattoo
journey started way back in South Korea
in the early 90s. Mohan had always loved
sketching and drawing. He went to South
Korea for employment. By chance, he
met Piti, a Dutch tattoo artist who trained
Mohan for two months. Learning the
art of tattoo was a hobby for him, and
Mohan used to love tattooing his friends.
During his time in South Korea from 1992
- 1994, he learned all the basics of being a
tattoo artist. Unfortunately, he was cash-
strapped and had to ask money from his
friends to return to Nepal.
Even though he lacked sufficient
funds, Mohan continued to tattoo his
friends for free, as he believed that he
would return to South Korea for work.
A good friend encouraged him to stay in
Nepal and put his unique skills to best
use. From the support of his friends,

and skills eventually gained recognition
and his clients started to invite him to
Kathmandu. In 2003, he packed his
tools and began moving back and forth
between Kathmandu and Pokhara. As
he had no permanent studio, Mohan
used to tattoo his clients at his hotel
room. He even travelled to Butwal and
Narayangadh for the same.
He decided to open a studio in
Thamel as the demand for his tattoos
started increasing in Kathmandu. In those
days, Thamel already had tattoo artists
skilled in traditional designs, but Mohan
entered the scene with his modern
designs and instantly set himself apart.
Competition dwindled as the demand
for his tattoos burgeoned. Clients had to
wait weeks and months just to get inked
by Mohan. He knew he had to keep up
with overwhelming demands and decided
to provide apprenticeship training. His
students, both local and foreigners have
even opened their own tattoo studios.
Mohan's Tattoo Inn became a brand
name in Nepal. His success lies in the
quality and hygienic services and the use
of modern techniques for tattoos. Till this
day, Mohan has inked more than 7000
skins.
His journey eventually led him to
opening a studio in New York in 2014.
Everyone has dreams of treading the big
sea and to Mohan, that sea was in New
York. Today, the 43 year old tattoo artist
has passed his skills to his son, Arjun
Gurung. Arjun looks after the studio in
Kathmandu with six other artists. Mohan
believes that his children will eventually
work in New York.
Mohan had planned to return to
Pokhara after 10 years and retire to a
humble tattoo studio, inking clients as
he wished. But times changed, and he
decided to settle in New York. Mohan is
already a renowned face in the tattoo
community, credited to developing
Nepal's tattoo culture and tattoo tourism.

With the popularity of the
Nepali tattoo art scene and
dedicated tattoo artists, Nepal
has set itself on the map as a
destination for tattoo tourism.
Tourism organizations such as

Board have been aggressively
promoting Nepal for tattoo

must say, reading is a much easier berth than writing, but
writing is pleasurable when it is about something or someone
you love. My first love always comes from paperback. We
never failed bonding with each other and still continue to be
best mates.
Recently, I came across an extremely interesting read, "Sita:
Warrior of Mithila". This is the second book in the Ram Chandra
series written by Amish Tripathi. Amish is best known for his
bestselling debut novel, "The Immortals of Mehula". He was a
boring banker, but now is an author with a keen interest to pen
about history, mythology and philosophy. I have read all his books,
but Sita impelled me to speak my mind through this review. I am
especially fond of this book as it is set in Janakpurdham - a place
where I was born and raised, which is also the birthplace of Sita.
It was hard for me not to judge this book by its cover, cause
it was just amazing! Previous illustrations of Goddess Sita mostly
depicted her as an eminently feminine, delicate and beautiful
character. On this cover, Sita is depicted as a warrior with a
masculine body, who is fighting with well-built men . I grabbed
it instantly. In my excitement, I completed reading all 361 pages
in two days.
This book did not fail to keep me on my toes - authors really
know how to keep readers frenzied till the end! The story
revolves around the characters of Ramayana, which is incised in
the hearts and souls of Hindus as they have been brought up
reading the ancient epic, watching it on TV, etc. Amish's Sita takes
you on a journey of twists and turns with characters written in
contrast to the original Ramayana.
Amish has a knack for portraying strong female protagonist.
In Sita:Warrior of Mithila, female leads are portrayed not just as
beautiful fantasies with delicate features, but are physically and
mentally strong. His female characters are never dominated by
B oo k R e vi e w
male characters, which is what I love most about this book.
Sita as a warrior inspired me to be strong and fearless. Women
should not crave to be protected by other men but by ourselves.
We are free to choose what we want and what we believe in. As
the world has changed and the era is different, then why can't Sita
be a warrior and fight for dignity by herself rather than wait for
Ram to rescue her?
Raavan is still there, but not in human form, but in our
thoughts which we need to fight and change without asking
and seeking help from Ram. Today's Sita should be fierce,
independent, earn her living and above all, should protect
herself.
While reading, I tend

effective and his powerful
lines are said by female
protagonists. Here are some of my favorite lines:
"What matters is not the weapon, but the woman who
wields that weapon." - Samichi
"It is said that we come with nothing into the world, and take
nothing back. But that's not true. We carry our karma with us.
And we leave behind our reputation, our name." - Sunaina
"Sometimes, a too-clever-by-half plan can backfire." - Sita
"The ends justify the means." Sita
If you know the Ramayana, you know that Sita is a goddess
who is bowed by every Hindu. But in this book, you discover
the mighty Sita, who knows how to use a bow and arrow. The
book will definitely jolt you with multiple blends of twists and
turns but if you're unfazed by them, then you'll love the female
characters depicted by Amish.

that no matter how successful a person he is,

Non Residential Nepali (NRN) movement. This
nation building approach was in active practice
since 2003 where the NRNs around the world
agreed upon serving their motherland from

 Nepal Mediciti and Buddha Air Partnership
N epal’s leading domestic airline and the very first
multi specialty hospital of Nepal, Buddha Air and
Nepal Mediciti have joined hands for a collaboration
that will enhance wellness and safety of passengers
and others alike. Assuring national and international
travelers of world class travel and healthcare support
services, the two leaders in the private sector have
come together to take aviation medicine to greater
heights in Nepal. The collaboration is slated to boost
confidence among passengers and the traveler’s
community about the availability of global standards of
healthcare services. Every year, hundreds of patients
around Nepal suffer due to lack of dedicated and
affordable medical support and transfer to specialized
care centers for further treatment. With the advent
of this partnership, patients in need of reliable and
safe transfer around Nepal are availed to the highest
standards of medical expertise. The collaboration
entails special medical support services for patients
who need stretcher facility during air travel and distinct
medical needs and an elite team of doctors. Specialized
medical escorting facility is provided to ensure that
patients can be safely transferred to quaternary care
facilities under the care and supervision of experts
on such critical transfer procedures. Both leaders in
their respective field believe that this partnership will
be a breakthrough for a synergistic impact
to uplift the confidence of people. In an
economy that is heavily dependent on
agriculture and remittance, this noble
alignment will hopefully be a landmark move
to boost service economy. This will set an
example for other ventures to spearhead
the progress of the service sector. Nepal

Despite not summiting Everest, the

The
Best
Romantic
Escapes in
Kathmandu

l Pramita Shrestha

Every relationship, every once in a while needs a recharge so

that there are less slamming doors and more giggles in the
house. But people seem to be completely apathetic to the
importance of romantic escapes and dates that recharge their
love lives. But wait! When was the last you went out with your
partner on a romantic outing? A happy, healthy and romantic
companionship, whether you are husband and wife or just
dating, calls for a getaway every now and then.
Having said that, even if you are a motivated romantic person
determined to take your partner on a getaway in Kathmandu,
"Where are we going?" is the question that pops! The valley
being a crowded place makes you wonder where you could
find a serene place to be together. You spend hours and hours
searching for a place and ultimately get irritated and come to a
conclusion of postponing the getaway. Most people can relate
to this problem of indecisiveness when it comes to deciding
a place to go with your loved one. Well, I hope the list below
could save you for a few weekends as they are some of the best
invigorating romantic escapes in and around the Kathmandu
Valley:

31
D E S T I N AT I O N S
Dhulikhel
Dhulikhel, the old town of gods and traders,
near to capital and close to nature attributes make
it one of the most exotic destinations to visit. No
wonder why super hits like Ghumna jaun, ghumna
jaun, ghumna Dhulikhel….! (Lets roam, lets roam,
lets roam Dhulikhel) were sung in the 1990s in
appreciation of this place. Dhulikhel, one of the
most preferred overnight destinations has so much
to offer to seekers of romance despite its small
territory. The panoramic views of the Himalayas,
lush green vegetation, cool breeze, ancient
monuments, Newari craftsmanship, narrow streets
and warm hospitable people never fail to cater to
its visitor's enchantment. If you are among those
who believe going out on monsoon is a bad idea,
we strongly recommend a safe ride to Dhulikhel; the
place comes to life when it drizzles especially when
you are with someone you love.
32
Nagarkot
Nagarkot is another popular hill station among
lovebirds. Along with the romantic cool ambiance,
Nagarkot is dotted with various Buddhist and Hindu
temples, waterfalls and lush greenery that promises
a worthwhile stay. Another major attraction that
allures lovebirds is that the hill station, offers
heartwarming sunrise and sunset views. Numerous
people visit the hill station to witness the enthralling
sunrise. The place also offers you the panoramic
views of several peaks of Mt. Everest.
Shivapuri
If you are a seeker of greenery and tranquility,
Shivapuri is the place to be. Located exactly on the
outskirt of the valley, Shivapuri Hills Station is away
from all the hustle and bustle. Another attraction of
the place is the Shivapuri National Park named after
Shivapuri Peak.

Spiritual
Khaptad The confluence of nature, culture  and spiritualism is
Khaptad. It is a majestic gift where visitors can meditate,
do yoga or just travel. To explore the vast beauty of Khaptad
National Park, you will need to plan a minimum 7 days tour.

34
K
haptad also has mythical
tales about it. It has
been mentioned as
“Khechradri” in the scriptures
and literatures of Hindu
mythological books. There’s a
belief that the word “Khechar”
has been modified to derive the
name, Khaptad.
Khaptad is located in
Province no. 7 in Nepal. Khaptad
National Park was inaugurated
by the Nepal Government
on 9 Ashadh 2043 BS. The
national park occupies an
area of 225 sq.km. It lies at an
altitude between 1,262 m to
3,276 m. On the highlands of
Khaptad, there are 22 open
grounds and numerous lakes.
Khaptad is known to have 372
species of plants and flowers
and 125 species of herbs like
Kalkut, Paachaule, Niramasi,
etc. From the headquarters
of Khaptad National Park, you
can visit other destinations like
Trivenidham, Khaptad Baba
Ashram, Khapar Daha, Sahastra
Linga and Ghode Dahunne. You
can even go further into Rara
Lake from Khaptad as well.
The best thing about
Khaptad is that it can be
visited throughout the
year. Each season has
its own perk. During
monsoon season of
Jestha - Ashadh, you enjoy
the beauty of wild flowers,

but if you visit Khaptad during autumn
season of Ashoj - Kartik, you get to see the
magnificence of the Himalayas. During
the winter season of Poush - Magh,
Khaptad is covered in snow, but when
you visit it during Chaitra- Baishakh,
the rhododendrons bloom, captivating
the traveler’s heart. From the crest of
Khaptad, you can enjoy the sights of Api
and Saipal mountains.
From Kathmandu, you need at least 7
days to travel to Khaptad.
Day 1:
Take about an hour long flight from
36
Kathmandu to Dhangadhi. As the capital
of Province no. 7, Dhangadhi is well-
facilitated with hotels, lodges, restaurants,
colleges, hospitals, etc. After landing at
Dhangadhi, drive for 7 hours to Dipayal.
The Dipayal Market in Doti district lies
along the Seti River.
From Uttariya Chowk, Godhavari
Dham is the next destination. From here,
it is an uphill route to Khandidanda. This
hill is the escape out junction from the
blazing sun and where you can have
meals. If you can hold your hunger,
Bhatkanda is a better option as it has
numerous restaurants. While driving,
you’ll reach Sahukharka. It is renonwned
for its Kheer (sweet dish made of rice and
milk), which is the recommended dessert
during the trek.
On the way, you can also visit Naagbeli
(Serpentine) Road.
Day 2
While Dipayal Market is situated in the
lower valley, Silgadi Market is situated in
the upper valley. Silgadi is the commercial
centre of Doti District and is 5 km from
Dipayal. After an early morning visit
to Saileshwari Temple at Silgadi, enjoy
breakfast and drive to Jhigrana. The 15

km route takes about an hour and a half
drive.
Jhigrana is the entry gate to Khaptad.
An approximate 5 hour uphill walk
leads you to Bichpani. This trail passes
through the undisrupted beauty of
rhododendron forest. Hearing the chirps
of the birds is the icing on the cake as
you walk the trail. But be wary, wild
animals can sometimes pay a surprise
visit. At the end of the uphill trek, you are
greeted by the bamboo garden and then
comes Bichpani. There are basic lodging
facilities.
Day 3
Trekking on the third day is slightly
easier as it goes downhill and there’s a
slight uphill. It’s about a 5 hour walk to
the Khaptad National Park headquarter
from Bichpani. There’s a massive pasture
land on the route for cows, goats and
horse grazing. You will admire the
liveliness of the nature.
Further on the way is Triveni Dham.
Here, you will find the confluence
of three rivers; Ganga, Jumuna and
Saraswati and a temple as
well. The temple
premises
Khaptad Baba
Khaptad Baba's actual name is Swami
Sachitananda Saraswati. His ashram
in Khaptad is a tourism site. You can
find two different statues of Baba,
one made of wood and other made of
bronze. At the ashram, you can also find
equipments that Baba had used in the
past. Khaptad Baba was a doctor
from India who travelled to Nepal
for renunciation. For 50 years,
he meditated, did yoga and
practiced intensive  discipline.
He stayed at Khaptad during
monsoon and in Terai during
winters. He has also written
spiritual books like
Bichar Bigyan,
Swastha Bigyan,
Naari Dharma
Ra Purush
Dharma,

of Triveni Dham have the statues of
Ganesha, Annapurna, Shiv-shankar and

literature, it is said that the Pandavas
came to Triveni Dham to offer their peace
prayers to the souls who died in the
Mahabharata war. Even now, people offer
their peace prayers to the dead souls.
Once a year, there is also a fair at
Khaptad locally known as Ganga

in the months of Jestha -

Stone resides on the crest of the hill. The

the many lingas and end their pilgrimage
journey. It is believed that people who
take part in this worship are free from sins
and gain Nirvana.
Not far from Triveni Dham lies Kedar
Dhunga. Kedar Dhunga is regarded as
the symbol of Lord Shiva. According to
legend during the Mahabharata period
after killing the cow (an animal sacred
to Hindus), Dhaumya Rishi, preacher of
Pandavas asked them to save the clan
from sin. To do so, the Pandavas came
to Khechradri Hill, did their worship
and took blessings from Lord Shiva. In
their process of worship at Triveni, the
Pandavas had a dream where Lord Shiva
was featured in the body of a child named
Kedar. In the dream, Lord Shiva was
walking from Mansarovar to Khaptad.
The next morning, while the Pandavas
were walking along the river, they saw
Kedar. When they were approached
Kedar, Lord Shiva converted into a
stone and vanished. Legend says that as
Kedar vanished into the land, his head
reached Pashupati. This converted stone
is Kedar Dhunga and is located near a
pilgrim house built by King Birendra upon
Khaptad Baba’s request.
Day 4
After an early morning breakfast, walk
uphill to Sahasra Linga from Triveni Dham.
Sahasreshwor, also known as Shad Dhari
stone has three points. The first point is
believed to be Lord Sahashreshwor, the
second point is Goddess Parvati and the
third point is Ganesh (son of Lord Shiva
and Parvati). There are thousands of
lingas under the holy stone.  
After Sahasra Linga, walk to Khaptad
Lake locally called Khapar Daha. The
lake was divided among four different
places, Khaappar, Dudhir, Ashankhi and
Neelkantha. Khaappar signifies Lord
Shiva were clean water runs. Dudhir
signifies Birbhadra where only one part
of the water is blurry, Ashankhi signifies
Mahakali where a portion of the water
was noted to be black and Neelkanta is
where the water is noted to be blue.
Lord Shiva, with a skull (Khappar)
in his hand once killed an evil named
Khaparey in this place, hence the name
Khaapar is linked to this mythological
history.

Triveni Dham
In the temple premises of Triveni
Dham lies the statues of Ganesha,
Annapurna, Shiv-Shankar and Basaha
for worship. Following the Hindu
Skanda Literature, it is said that
Pandavas came to Triveni Dham to
offer their peace prayers to the dead
souls in the war of Mahabharata.
Thus, even in the present date, the
same culture is forwarded to offer
peace prayers to the dead souls.
On the northwest of Khaapar Lake
is Jagannath Temple. There is a small
settlement near the temple. The priests
of this temple are cobblers. Once a year,
a big fair is held at Jagannath during
Bhadra. A palanquin of Jagannath is
brought from the nearby village of
Bajhang and is worshipped according to
Hindu process. After Jagannath, head
back to the guest house for meal and
rest.
Day 5
Take a tour of the national park
museum early the next morning.
In the museum, you can

Day 6
After shopping for souvenirs at Dipayal
market, return to Dhangadhi. Upon

daily basis. The temple is also a popular
destination for marriage for the Dalit
community. You can also visit Bhageshwar
Temple located on the banks of the Seti
River.
For lunch, you will arrive at
Dadeldhura. A popular hill station
in the region, Dadeldhura is a quick
escape for the locals of Dhangadhi and
Mahendranagar during the summers. It
is a place of religious importance where
a temple dedicated to Goddess Urgatara
is located. Amargadi Fort is another
place of historic importance. The fort
has the statue of late martyr Amar Singh
Thapa. This well preserved fort has been
a significant tourist attraction for the
region.
Take a tour of Goddess Urgata Temple
and Amargadi Fort and move towards
Dhangadhi. In the evening, take a tour of
Shivapuri Dham and overnight at a hotel
in Dhangadhi.
Day 7

by road and about 1 hour by flight. From
Dhangadhi, it takes a 7 hour bus ride
to reach Silgadhi OR you could go from
Dipayal to Silgadhi to Jhigrana which is 1.5
hours by jeep.
There are various gifts and souvenirs
to buy along your trek. The popular

Dhangadhi are Basmati Rice, Chuk (sour
paste), honey, beans, etc. Other favored
items are handicraft made by the Tharu
