Baitadi: Want to check some astonishing facts?
Many countries in the world offer
adventure and thrill. You can quickly
find countries that offer adventure treks and sports,
but you can hardly find countries that provide
rich history at the same time. Nepal is one such country that offers you more
than you ask for. From temples like Badi Malika to wetland Ramaroshan, Nepal’s far
western parts are full of mystery and distinct landscape as well. We can also
talk about the longest and the largest river in
Nepal that passes through some of the most remote
mountain ranges spreading its beauty all over the area.
1- Apart
from that, there is Baitadi district.
Located at a distance of 850 km from the capital
of Nepal, Baitadi as a region owns an exquisite natural wonder. There is a cave
under a pond. It might seem a little far-fetched, but there is no exaggeration here.
The name of the cave is Bhubaneshwar cave,
and there is firm belief associated with
this cave.
2- The
local people believe that this cave does not have an ending. They also say that
no one can find the end of this cave and can
never exploit it. Although, the people who have studied the case of this
region and far west Nepal to be precise; they estimate that Bhubaneshwar cave
has an approx. The depth of around 160 meters which is simply mind boggling to begin with.
3- The
cave is situated at a height altitude of around 2000 meters above
sea level. The entrance point of the cave enables you to witness spectacular
view around itself. The Saipal and Api peaks can be captured from here and because
of the height of the entrance, the view is nothing short of spectacular.
4- Like
many other landmasses connected with mythological
interpretation related to Lord Shiva,
these caves are also speculated to have been the abode of Lord Shiva for a
considerable period of time.
5- In
another interesting tale, it is believed
that the seven divine sisters were asked
to stay in the Baitadi region. It is the reason locals constructed seven different
temples in the area; each signifying one divine sister. With such
rich history and culture, it is obvious that the country offers much more than
geographical landscape and views.
6- While we talk about the
goddesses, it is imperative to mention the name of Tripurusundari as the most
important among the sisters. This temple is
located in the south-west
direction of the Baitadi and every year, during its annual festival, loads of
tourists and local people visit the temple for the blessing the goddess.
Baitadi
as a district is quaint and serene. With minimal commercial activity, the town wears
a quite look with its peaceful surroundings. It is a perfect place to unwind
and relax. It offers tranquility and is an excellent getaway destination. While the maximum temperature is around 32
degree Celsius, the temperature remains pleasant throughout the year with
occasional cold months in the year.
