Best Places To Visit in Dang, Nepal

Kapil Karki

Dang District is located in Nepal’s Inner Terai area and is part of the Lumbini Province. The district’s Deukhuri valley, which is flanked by the Sivalik Hills and Mahabharata Range, is the province’s capital and Asia’s second-largest valley. The district headquarters of Dang is Ghorahi, Nepal’s sixth-largest city and largest sub-metropolitan city.

Tulsipur sub-metropolitan city, Dang’s second-largest city, is a crucial transportation hub with concrete highways and aircraft networks. The district has a population of 548,141 people and covers 2,955 km2 (2011 census).

The Dang area has been extensively investigated archaeologically since the nineteenth century, thanks to the discoveries of ancient ape and early human remains. The district is the epicentre of Nepal’s Sanskrit language. It is home to Nepal Sanskrit University, the country’s only Sanskrit university, and Rapti Academy of Health Sciences (RAHS), a government-owned medical college in Lumbini Province headed by the Prime Minister of Nepal.

The Dang Deukhuri district features many temples and gumbas dedicated to puranic legends like the Shaivism, Mahabharata, Shaktism, and Gorakhnath, making it one of its most important culturally diversified neighbourhoods.

History of Dang District

Archaeologists believe the Churiya range is old with the finding of Sivapithecus (syn: Ramapithecus), a link between man and ape.

Since 1966, Tribhuvan University has been conducting prehistoric studies of Dang Valley, including a geological survey of the valley led by Robert M. West of the American Museum of Natural History and the Department of Mines with the involvement of His Majesty’s Government of Nepal from 1976, with the help of a palaeolithic study of Dang by Germany’s University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität).

According to these findings, Dang Valley was formerly a lake between 2.5 and 1 million years ago. Between 1984 and 1986, Gudrun Corvinus, a German academic who specialized in the Pleistocene-Holocene period of early human occupation, studied the stratigraphy and geology of Dang valley. She examined the exposed section of the road that connects Koilabas and the Dang Valley in Deukhuri.

Hand axes and other artifacts dating from the early Paleolithic (1.8 million to 100,000 years ago) have been unearthed in alluvial layers along the Babai River in Dang Valley. These are Acheulean, or second-generation’ toolmakers, who came after the very first Olduwan.

Archaeological sites from the Upper Paleolithic and Late Pleistocene periods are more recent (about 50,000 to 10,000 years ago). These can also be found near and south of Dang Valley, along the Babai and Deukhuri Valleys (Rapti River). These are Acheulean, or second-generation’ toolmakers, who came after the very first Olduwan.

Tharu Civilisation

The indigenous Tharu people have lived in Dang Valley from ancient times, but the exact creation date is still under inquiry. The valley was a bustling hub of Tharu civilisation, according to academics.

The Tharus are one of Nepal’s most important indigenous ethnic groups in current times, and the Tharus that live in Dang valley is known as Dangaura Tharus. The latter has managed to keep their colourful and distinct traditional culture alive and well.

Medieval and Modern History

Meghraj Singh Chauhan belonging to the Chauhan dynasty, was the king of the region from 1350 AD onwards, according to Yogi Ratna Nath’s Chaughera monastery in Dang valley, the third-in-line line of Yogi Gorakhnath.

For the lords of the valley, the temple had an immense spiritual significance. For hundreds of years, the temple’s interior functions remained substantially unchanged even after new dynasties came to power. According to Nevills Gazetteer of Bahreich, Dangdun was under the dominion of Udat Singh in 1485 AD (1922:124).

Nawal Singh Chauhan, the last independent monarch, ruled as the House of Tulsipur from Chaughera of Dang till 1760 AD, controlling one of the largest Taluqs of Oudh, India, at the time, which included the Dang and Deukhuri Valleys.

The town shares its name with Tulsipur, a city in Nepal’s Dang Deukhuri District (65 kilometres north); the two municipalities are historically linked because they both had the same king.

In 1760 AD, Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah annexed the valley to the Gorkha Kingdom. In 1763 AD, the King of Salyan received Dang as a dowry for King Prithvi Narayan Shah’s daughter. The Kingdom of Nepal finally absorbed Dang valley as the Salyan kingdom merged with the Shah kings’ Unified Nepal in 1808 AD.

Because it was higher, hotter, better-drained, and thus less malarial than most Inner Terai valleys in Nepal, Shah and Rana courtiers and other Nepalese chose Dang as their home. Deukhuri was more of a Tharu neighbourhood until DDT was introduced in the 1950s to inhibit the disease-carrying Anopheles mosquito.

Before the Rapti Bridge was completed, Koilabas in Dang Valley was an important trading station with India, but it was eventually abandoned. The ruins of Koilabas still contain remains of the Persian Mughal Empire’s architecture. A long time ago, Dang was the capital of Rapti Zone.

Geography Of Dang District

This region comprises the greater easterly and upstream sections of the parallel Inner Terai valleys of Dang and Deukhuri and the encircling ranges of hills and mountains. Both valleys meet downstream in Banke District.

The district borders Uttar Pradesh, an Indian state that borders Nepal, to the south—specifically, the Awadh districts of Balarampur and Shravasti. Because the international boundary parallels the southern edge of the outermost Siwalik foothills known as the Dudhwa Range, no Outer Terai expands onto the main Ganges Plain within this district. The permeable geology of the Siwaliks limits moisture retention and soil growth. Hence they are covered in barren scrub forest.

The Dudhwas rise abruptly to a high of roughly 700 meters, then descend gently into the Deukhuri Valley, reaching its lowest point of 250 meters close to the Rapti River. Because the Dudhwas were more than 100 kilometres long, the Rapti had to detour west before turning southeast to follow the primary trend of the plains into India.

Deukhuri enjoys a subtropical climate, is well-watered by the river, and has ample groundwater. The Dang Range rises to 1,000 meters north of Deukhuri Valley, passing through at around 700 meters. The Dang Valley, located north of these hills, is drained by the Babai River, a tributary of the Ghaghara (Karnali).

At the foothills of the Mahabharat Range, the Babai Valley is 600 meters high, with alluvial slopes gradually expanding northward to 700 meters. The area then continues upslope for another 1,500 to 1,700 meters to the Mahabharats’ crest. To the north are the districts of Pyuthan, Rolpa, and Salyan.

For the most part, the Rapti River in western Nepal flows through the lower Dang valley. On the northern side of the hills, it passes beneath the Churia range before leaving on the southern side. Nepal’s second-longest bridge spans the Rapti river, connecting Sisahaniya in Rapti Rural Municipality and Mahadeva in Gadawa Rural Municipality in Dang district.

Dang District’s Cultural Heritages

Dang Valley has a rich cultural heritage that includes a mix of Hinduism and a previous Tharu culture. The Dang Deukhuri district features many temples and gumbas dedicated to puranic legends like the Mahabharata, Shaktism, Shaivism, and Gorakhnath, making it one of its most important culturally diversified neighbourhoods.

Some of the most notable tourist heritage sites in the Dang Deukhuri District are as follows:

Ambikeshwari temple.

Ambikeshwari Shrine, located in Dang’s district, is a spiritually significant Hindu temple . The temple, also known as “Maiko Than” (Mother’s Place), is located 1.5 kilometres north of Ghorahi, Katuwa Khola’s bank.

The temple emerged as a result of Satidevi’s right ear falling off, according to Hinduism’s Swasthani Purana. This temple is the most well-known Shaktipeeth in Dang Valley.

Dharapani Temple

Dharapani Temple is about 9 kilometres from Ghorahi’s centre, in the district’s Dharna municipality-01, at the base of the Chure mountain, south of the Babai River. On their way to Uttarapantha, the five Pandavas brothers sat and chanted Shiva prayers at this temple (Himalayas).

One of the valley’s most prominent tourist attractions is the temple, which houses the world’s largest Trishula. Hindu worshippers and prominent Nepalese leaders such as the President, police chiefs, top judges, and politicians have visited the shrine.

Ratnanath(Gorakhnath) Mandir, Chaughera

The Ratnanath (Gorakhnath) Mandir is located in Chaughera’s Ghorahi sub-metropolitan city. The Dang District is a renowned tourist and spiritual site. The shrine is named after Yogi Ratna Nath, Yogi Gorakhnath’s third-in-line.

The temple has had a significant spiritual value for the rulers of the valley from ancient times; as a result, the temple’s internal operations were almost entirely undisturbed for hundreds of years, even after power passed to new dynasties.

The monastery’s funding is tied to the valley’s rulers, as legend tells of a king who went jungle hunting and saw a splendid deer and shot it with an arrow. The king followed after the injured deer, which escaped into the woods. Then, in the middle of the forest, he met a dazzling ascetic who sat in profound concentration, an arrow in front of him.

The king admitted his mistake and apologized. The Siddha forgave him and granted him the power to dominate the Dang Valley through yogic strength. “As long as you retain the arrow, you will keep your kingdom steadfast,” Yogi Gorakhnath’s follower Ratannath told the monarch as he handed over the arrow.

After that, the king began to worship Ratannath, and the king’s bloodline has done so for the past six months, keeping the arrow. For the remaining six months, the Yogis worshipped the arrow, and the monarch was forced to pay them half of his kingdom’s earnings.” 516 Narharinath, 2022 (summarized from Narharinath 2022: 516).

Barhakune Daha (Baraha Chhetra)

Barhakune Daha, sometimes spelt Baraha Chhetra, is a sub-metropolitan city 3 kilometres north of Ghorahi. This region is dedicated to the Hindu God Vishnu, widely respected during the Makar Sankranti holiday. The temple’s name comes from the twelve “bara” (Nepali) corners of a pond that surrounds it.

Chameri Cave

Chameri cave, also known as the “Siddha” cave, is located on the Mahabharat range’s slopes and is supposed to have been used by saints for penance in the valley. Since prehistoric humans may have used the cave, it has sparked an archaeological interest.

The cave is four levels high, with a vast ground hall that can accommodate a thousand people. The cave of Chameri is historically significant, and several preliminary observations and studies are underway.

Jakhera Lake

Jakhera Lake is a lake in Dang’s Lamai Municipality-5, about 35 kilometres from Ghorahi; two Ganesh and Siddeswor Mahadev temples surround that. The lake is a prominent tourist attraction in the neighbourhood, and it’s a terrific spot for sightseeing and picnicking. The lake, which is 6 feet deep and 12 hectares in size, is located at the foot of the Chure mountains.

Transportation In Dang District

The Deukhuri Valley is traversed by the East-West Route, Nepal’s principal east-west route, which passes via Kalakate and Bhalubang Bazar on the upper end and Lamahi on the lower back. Branch roads run up the Rapti River into the Pyuthan and Rolpa districts from Bhalubang.

Dang District - Lumbini Province

Dang District is a Lumbini Province district located in Nepal's Inner Terai region. The district's Deukhuri valley is the province's capital and Asia's second-biggest valley, bordered by the Sivalik Hills and Mahabharata Range. Ghorahi, Dang's district headquarters, is Nepal's sixth biggest city and largest sub-metropolitan city. The second biggest city in Dang, Tulsipur sub-metropolitan city, is an important transportation centre with concrete roads and aviation networks. The district has 548,141 people and spans an area of 2,955 km2 (2011 census).

Due to the discovery of ancient ape and early human fossils, the Dang area has been intensively researched archaeologically since the twentieth century. The district is considered the epicentre of Nepal's Sanskrit language, and it is home to Nepal's second-oldest university, Nepal Sanskrit University, which is the country's only Sanskrit university, as well as Rapti Academy of Health Sciences (RAHS), a state-owned medical college in Lumbini Province that the Prime Minister of Nepal leads. Dang Deukhuri district has several temples and gumbas with puranic legends like Mahabharata, Shaivism, Shaktism, and Gorakhnath, making it one of its most culturally diverse areas.

History and Prehistory of Dang District

places to visit in dang nepal

According to these studies, Dang Valley was once a lake between 2.5 and 1 million years ago.

Gudrun Corvinus, a German scholar who worked on the Pleistocene Holocene period of early human habitation, examined the stratigraphy and geology of Dang valley between 1984 and 1986. She looked at the exposed part of the road that runs through Deukhuri between Koilabas and the Dang Valley.

In alluvial sediments along the Babai River in Dang Valley, hand axes and other artefacts dating from the early Paleolithic (1.8 million to 100,000 years ago) have been discovered. These are classified as Acheulean, or second-generation' toolmaking that follows the very earliest Olduwan.

More recent archaeological sites date from the Upper Paleolithic and Late Pleistocene periods (about 50,000 to 10,000 years ago). These may also be found along the Babai and Deukhuri Valley (Rapti River), close to and south of Dang Valley. These are classified as Acheulean, or second-generation' toolmaking that follows the very earliest Olduwan.

Tharu Civilisation

Dang valley has been inhabited by the indigenous Tharu people from ancient times; however, the exact date of inception is still archaeological investigation. According to researchers, the valley was a thriving hub of Tharu civilization.

In modern times, the Tharus are Nepal's most significant indigenous ethnic groups, and the Tharus who live in Dang valley is known as Dangaura Tharus. The latter have managed to preserve their vibrant and distinctive traditional culture.

Medieval and Modern History

Evidence suggests that while the Khasa Kingdom ruled western Nepal, Dang was effectively under their political control. According to one of Punya Malla's documents, the valley was given to Jayakar Pundit as a virta in 1336 AD.

According to Yogi Ratna Nath's Chaughera monastery in Dang valley, the third-in-line of Yogi Gorakhnath, Meghraj Singh Chauhan of the Chauhan dynasty was the monarch of the region from 1350 AD onwards.

The temple maintained a tremendous spiritual significance for the rulers of the valley. Even after new dynasties came to power, the temple's internal operations remained largely unaltered for hundreds of years. Dangdun was in the control of Udat Singh in 1485 AD, according to Nevills Gazetteer of Bahreich (1922:124).

The last independent monarch, Nawal Singh Chauhan, reigned from Chaughera of Dang until 1760 AD as the House of Tulsipur, which controlled one of the biggest Taluqs of Oudh, India, which comprised the Dang and Deukhuri Valleys at the time. The town shares its name with another Tulsipur in Nepal's Dang Deukhuri District (65 kilometres north); the two cities are historically related since they had the same monarch.

Gorkha King Prithvi Narayan Shah incorporated the valley into the Gorkha Kingdom in 1760 AD. Dang was dowry to the King of Salyan in 1763 AD for King Prithvi Narayan Shah's daughter (excluding Tulsipur holdings south of the Siwalik Hills). When the Salyan kingdom united with the Shah monarchs' Unified Nepal in 1808 AD, Dang valley was eventually incorporated by the Kingdom of Nepal.

Dang was inhabited by Shah and Rana courtiers and other Nepalese because it was somewhat higher, hotter, better-drained, and hence less malarial than most Inner Terai valleys in Nepal. Until DDT was introduced in the 1950s to suppress the disease-carrying Anopheles mosquito, Deukhuri was more of a Tharu enclave.

Koilabas of Dang Valley was an important trading station with India before completing the Rapti Bridge, but it was gradually abandoned. Even now, relics of Persian Mughal Empire architecture may be seen in the ruins of Koilabas. Dang used to be the capital of Rapti Zone a long time ago.

Geography of Dang District

The greater easterly and upstream sections of the parallel Inner Terai valleys of Dang and Deukhuri and encircling ranges of hills and mountains make up this region. Both valleys meet in Banke District downstream.

To the south, the district borders Uttar Pradesh, a state in India that borders Nepal—specifically, the Awadh districts of Balarampur and Shravasti. No Outer Terai is spreading onto the main Ganges Plain inside this district since the international boundary follows the southern edge of the outermost Siwalik foothills called the Dudhwa Range. Because the Siwaliks' porous geology prevents moisture retention or soil growth, they are covered with unproductive scrub forest.

The Dudhwas climb sharply to a peak at around 700 meters, then gradually descend into the Deukhuri Valley, reaching a low point of 250 meters near the Rapti River. The Rapti had to detour west around the Dudhwas before turning southeast along with the primary trend of the plains into India since the Dudhwas were more than 100 kilometres long.

Deukhuri has a near-tropical climate and is well-watered by the river, and has plenty of groundwater. The Dang Range rises as high as 1,000 meters north of Deukhuri Valley, passing about 700 meters. The Babai River, a tributary of the Ghaghara, drains the Dang Valley, located north of these hills (Karnali).

The Babai Valley has an elevation of 600 meters, with alluvial slopes gradually increasing northward to 700 meters at the Mahabharat Range's foot. The area then continues upslope to the Mahabharats' crest, which is 1,500 to 1,700 meters. Pyuthan, Rolpa, and Salyan are the districts to the north.

The Rapti River in western Nepal runs through the lower Dang valley for the most part. It runs beneath the Churia range on the northern side of the hills before exiting on the southern side. Sisahaniya of Rapti Rural Municipality and Mahadeva of Gadawa Rural Municipality in Dang district are connected by Nepal's second-longest bridge across the Rapti river.

Cultural Heritages in Dang District

Dang Valley has a diverse cultural legacy that includes a blend of Hinduism and an earlier Tharu civilization. Dang Deukhuri district has several temples and gumbas with puranic legends like Mahabharata, Shaivism, Shaktism, and Gorakhnath, making it one of its most culturally diverse areas.

The following are some of the most important heritage sites in the Dang Deukhuri District:

Ambikeshwari Temple

places to visit in dang nepal

According to Hinduism's Swasthani Purana, the temple arose due to Satidevi's right ear falling off. This temple is Dang Valley's most renowned Shaktipeeth.

Dharapani Temple

Dharapani Temple is located in the district's Dharna municipality-01, at the base of the Chure range, south of the Babai River, about 9 kilometres from Ghorahi's centre. The temple is located where the five Pandavas brothers sat and sang Shiva prayers on their trek to Uttarapantha (Himalayas).

The temple has the world's largest Trishula and is one of the valley's most popular tourist attractions. The temple has been a popular destination for Hindu worshippers and notable Nepalese figures such as the President, police heads, chief judges, and ministers.

Ratnanath (Gorakhnath) Mandir, Chaughera

Chaughera's Ratnanath (Gorakhnath) Mandir is located in the Ghorahi sub-metropolitan city of Chaughera. It is a popular tourist and spiritual destination in the Dang District. Yogi Ratna Nath, Yogi Gorakhnath's third-in-line, is the temple's namesake.

Since ancient times, the temple has had a tremendous spiritual significance for the rulers of the valley; as a result, even after the shift of power to new dynasties, the temple's interior operations were almost totally undisturbed for hundreds of years.

The story of the monastery's founding is linked to the kings of the valley, as it speaks of a king who went jungle hunting and noticed a magnificent deer and fired an arrow at it. The injured deer bolted into the woods, and the king chased after it. Then, in the middle of the forest, he came face to face with a brilliant ascetic, sat in deep concentration with an arrow in front of him.

The king acknowledged his error and apologized. The Siddha pardoned him and bestowed upon him the capacity to rule over the Dang Valley through yogic strength. Ratannath, Yogi Gorakhnath's student, seized the arrow and presented it to the monarch, saying, "As long as you maintain the arrow, you will keep your kingdom firm."

The king then began to worship Ratannath, and the king's bloodline has continued to do so for the last six months, keeping the arrow. The Yogis worshipped the arrow for the other six months, and the monarch was forced to pay them half of his kingdom's earnings." Narharinath 2022: 516 (summarized from Narharinath 2022: 516).

Barhakune Daha (Baraha Chhetra)

Barhakune Daha (Baraha Chhetra), commonly known as Baraha Chhetra, is a sub-metropolitan city located 3 kilometres north of Ghorahi. During the Makar Sankranti holiday, the region is dedicated to the Hindu God Vishnu, who is extensively revered. The name originates from the twelve "bara" (Nepali) corners of a pond surrounding the temple.

Chameri Cave

Chameri cave, located on the Mahabharat range's slopes, is also known as the "Siddha" cave and is said to have been utilized by saints for penance in the valley. The cave has also piqued archaeological curiosity since prehistoric humans might have used it.

The cave is four stories tall and has a large ground hall that can hold about a thousand people. The cave of Chameri is of archaeological significance, and different preliminary observations and study are being carried out.

Jakhera Lake

Jakhera Lake, which means "rain-water collecting," is a lake in Dang's Lamai Municipality-5, about 35 kilometres from Ghorahi, with two Ganesh and Siddeswor Mahadev temples around it. The lake is a popular tourist destination in the area and a great place to picnic and sightseeing. The lake, which is 6 feet deep and spans 12 hectares, is located at the base of the Chure hills.

Transportation in Dang District

The East-West Route, Nepal's primary east-west highway, traverses the Deukhuri Valley, passing via Kalakate and Bhalubang Bazar on the upper end and Lamahi on the lower back. Branch roads from Bhalubang run up the Rapti River into the Pyuthan and Rolpa districts.

Highways are leading north through the Dang Range to Ghorahi and south through the Dudhwas to Koilabas, formerly a major international trading centre. The East-West highway, which runs through Lamahi, connects the Banke and Kohalpur districts. Rolpa district and the Swargadwari pilgrimage site are accessible by roads from Ghorahi.

A motorable road leads north from Tulsipur into Salyan District. Sisahaniya of Rapti Rural Municipality and Mahadeva of Gadawa Rural Municipality in Dang district are connected by Nepal's second-longest bridge over the Rapti river. Dang Airport in Tarigaun offers a daily scheduled flight to Kathmandu, Nepal.
