Located  in the beautiful mountain regions of Dhankuta District, Dhoje Dada is an attraction to some of Nepal's most beautiful but lesser-known travel spots. This beautiful location, which is about an hour's drive from Dhankuta Bazar, gives an incredible view of the majestic Kanchanjunga and Makalu ranges, as well as the far-off Mt. Everest rising over the Makalu range. Away from the typical tourist routes, Dhoje Dada provides peace and natural beauty with amazing views of the sunrise.

The journey to Dhoje Dada begins in Danda Bazaar, a picturesque hilltop settlement located 29 kilometers from Dharan. Accessible by buses, jeeps, or on foot, the path to Dhoje Dada passes through the enchanting Bhedetar. This charming hill station, also known as Charles Point, is named after British Prince Charles who visited in 2040 BS. At 1425 meters above sea level, Bhedetar is celebrated for its cool climate year-round, making it a refreshing escape from the summer heat.


Majestic Vistas and Natural Splendor


Dhoje Dada is renowned for its spectacular views. As the sun rises, the hill offers a breathtaking panorama of the Himalayas, with the peaks of Mount Sagarmatha, Mount Makalu, Mount Lhotse, Mount Kanchanjunga, and Mount Chamlang visible in their full glory. The sunrise here is a moment of pure magic, with the golden light casting a warm glow over the snow-capped peaks and the surrounding landscape.

In addition to the stunning mountain vistas, Dhoje Dada presents a sweeping view of 16 different districts in both the Terai and hilly regions. The hill's vantage point allows for an unparalleled perspective on the natural beauty of Nepal.


Exploring the Surroundings


A short drive from Danda Bazaar leads to Lapchetaar, a picturesque village with its own historical charm. According to local legends, Lapchetaar was once inhabited by the Lapche people before a natural disaster led to their displacement. The village is now home to a diverse community and features a massive banyan tree, believed to be around 350 years old and one of the largest in the Asia region.

Dhoje Dada is surrounded by several other quaint villages, each contributing to the region's rich cultural tapestry. To the east lies Rajarani, while the southwest is home to Lumphajung, Okhre, and Sellung. To the north, Begana Gau completes the circle of surrounding communities.

Pack your bags, lace up your hiking boots, and embark on a journey to Dhoje Dada. Witness the sunrise over the Himalayas, enjoy the tranquility of the hills, and immerse yourself in the beauty and serenity of this remarkable destination.
