Where is Mailung Waterfall (Bhange Jharana)?
Mailung Waterfall (Bhange Jharana) is near Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, with Kathmandu Valley used as the route reference point on WanderBees.
A roaring ~150 m waterfall on the upper-Trishuli river corridor, straddling the Nuwakot (Kispang) and Rasuwa border near the mouth of the Mailung Khola. It plunges down forested cliffs into a clear pool beside the hydropower road — a favourite monsoon-season day ride from Kathmandu that still flies under most tourists' radar. The drive itself is the adventure: smooth blacktop as far as Betrawati, then a rugged ~10 km dirt track up the river gorge to the falls. A note on the name: the falls were originally known as Bhange Jharana (its true, local name). As visitors began arriving via the nearby Mailung Khola and Mailung village, the name 'Mailung Waterfall' caught on and is now the label most tourists use — but Bhange is the original. You'll see both names used interchangeably.
