Overview

For an enriching day excursion around Khandbari, we highly recommend the Char Dhara Trek, a gem nestled in Khandbari Municipality Ward No. 11, Angla Ghale Gaun, Sankhuwasabha district in Eastern Nepal.

This captivating site boasts four expansive natural water taps fed by springs, offering crystal-clear water that remains warm in winter and refreshingly cold in spring. Visitors are welcome to drink the pristine water, partake in bathing rituals, and engage in worship at the temple.

Embarking on the trek, which spans approximately four hours on foot from Khandbari Bazaar, leads you through picturesque locales like Mane Bhangyang, Arun Than, and Sittal Pati Danda, ultimately reaching the serene Char Dhara. For a more scenic return route, consider traversing Harela Danda – Sekaya village, culminating in a pleasant arrival back at Khandbari in the evening.

Itinerary

Buddha Air Thirty-minute flight from Kathmandu to Tumlingtar Airport. Meet the company staff at the airport.

Pack all the required things in the backpack and prepare for your 16-day MBC trek.

While early travel tended to be slower, more dangerous, and more dominated by trade and migration, cultural and technological advances over many years have tended to mean that travel has become easier and more accessible. The evolution of technology in such diverse fields as horse tack and bullet trains has contributed to this trend.

The Palace of Fifty five Windows: This magnificent palace was built during the reign of King Yakshya Malla in A.D. 1427 and was subsequently remodeled by King Bhupatindra Malla in the seventeenth century. Among the brick walls with their gracious setting and sculptural design, is a balcony with Fifty five Windows, considered to be a unique masterpiece of woodcarving.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts.

Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia.

Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of  Dan decided to leave for the far World of Grammar.

The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen.

When she reached the first hills of the Italic Mountains, she had a last view back on the skyline of her hometown Bookmarksgrove, the headline of Alphabet Village and the subline of her own road, the Line Lane. Pityful a rethoric question ran over her cheek.
