My Sojourn, Hetauda

Straight and wide roads, mixture of traditional and modern houses, wide playground at the city center, ever green roof of the roads made up of Ashoka trees perfectly gives its colour to Hetauda city. This small town lies at the bank of Rapti and Karra rivers  and surrounded by the green hills. Sahid Smarak, View Tower, Pashupati temple,  Bhutandevi temple, Manakamana temple are beautiful places to visit. It is one of the flourishing  towns of Nepal in all sectors including education, sports, tourism though it was known as the mere industrial town in the past.

There are some luxurious hotels, motels and resorts where you can stay a few nights with every facilities. You can hire vehicles to go to the full sight scene including Daman and Makwanpurgadi which are naturally panoramic and historically significant. If you visit Daman in winter seasons, there will be more chances to cuddle with snow and throw it at each other if you are in group. There are restaurants, bars, clubs where you can have your food and beverages taken. If you are hungry of knowledge, you can visit well equipped libraries where you can read varieties of books written by national as well as foreign writers. Don’t worry if you have kids. You can take them to children park, fun park and mini zoo at Sahid Smarak. Are you religious? No matter which religion you follow. There are temples for Hindus like Pashupati, Bhutandevi, Manakaamana temples , Churches for Christians and mosques for Muslims. Hetauda city is harmoniously inhabited by Brahmins, Tamangs, Newars, Kshatriyes, and Magars. Besides, there are schools and colleges for every discipline. Super markets, corner shops, and Show Rooms of the branded vehicles give a postmodern touch to this city. It is only 78 km far from Kathmandu, and you can see Indra Sarowar, Chisapani Gadi, Dakkhsin kaali temple and all the three phases of kulekhani hydropower on the way to Hetauda.

Well, my friends, if you come some days in this beautiful town, don’t forget me . I will be standing right here to welcome you.
