Swargadwari -The gate of heaven 1After entering Pyuthan via Gadhwa, Lamahi and Bhaluwang of Dang Deukhuri, some cold weather along the banks of the Rapti was bringing a different kind of joy to our minds.

We entered Bhingri of Pyuthan after a 5 hour drive from Gadhwa.

Bhingri Swargadwari is the main entrance of the temple. After that, the winding and steep paved road of about half an hour was very enjoyable. I was very happy to see the flat terrain of Bhingri Bazaar from the same road.
