Charikot

About 130 km from Dhulikhel, Charikot provides a spectacular snow-capped mountain view of Mt. Gauri-Shanker. It is the headquarters of Dolakha district and boasts of many shops, new settlements and financial institutions. In the eastern upper part of Dolkha township, there is a famous roofless temple of Dolkha Bhimsen, who uniquely transforms into two other different appearances of Lord Vishnu, the Preserver and Shiva, the Destroyer, in a single day.
