Bhedetar Hile Hiking

At the east of Nepal, right at the foot of hills, located in the Sunsari district at an altitude of 1148 ft (349m) lies this beautiful city, Dharan. It is linked by road with the East-West highway of Nepal and can be reached by two hours drive from Biratnagar. Beautiful roads, remarkable homes and natural beauty aren't all that makes Dharan. It embraces cleanliness, openness, friendly hill people and their smiles. Dharan grew after British setup the `Gurkha Recruitment Center' in 1953, which helped many Nepalese earn employment. Two ethnic groups namely Rais and Limbus used to constitute the major portion of Gurkah soldiers. These groups came from the eastern region of Nepal, and Dharan was their center for training.

Dharan has a tropical monsoon climate with maximum temperature of 35 to 36 Degree Celsius in April, and minimum of 10 to 12 Degree Celsius in January. Nepal's one of the largest rivers, Saptakoshi, runs near Dharan.

Interesting point Bhedetar hiking(Charles Point) which is located 9 Kilometer away where the British Prince Charles had climbed. There's even a Charles tower on the peak, from where you can have a panoramic view of the fort, hills, waterfalls, and forests. On a clear day (especially during autumn season), you can see far down the tarai, and high into the east Himalayan range. You can hike up or drive up the winding road, and the peak is a cool getaway on the hottest summer's day.
