Trip to south eastern Nepal (Part-3)

So, after a night's stay at Janakpur, we proceeded to yet another terai-region of Nepal, called "Lahan". From Janakpur to Lahan, it is around 100 kms by road. The road is flat and passes through villages.

(The omnipresent fog!)



(The fog has cleared by 8.40 hours)


The entire belt is a vast stretch of agricultural land. People here resemble to the people of Bihar state of India, by their looks & language. Even the huts resemble those found in Bihar of India.




Below are Nepali people. They may easily be confused with Biharis of India.

(People and their Bullock-cart)

On the way, there is one famous spot for tourists, namely, "Dhanushadham".
Dhanushadham is a historical and religious site, its reference dating back to the great Hindu epic Ramayana. It is believed to be the place where fell broken remains of the divine shiva bow that Ram broke to obtain Sita’s hand for marriage. A fossilized fragment of the broken piece is still believed to be seen and is worshipped by devotees.
