Where is Taudaha Sacred Lake?
Taudaha Sacred Lake is near Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, with Kathmandu Valley used as the route reference point on WanderBees.
A small sacred lake at 1,325 m in the fields just south of Kirtipur — one of Kathmandu Valley's few natural wetland lakes, believed to be home of the Naga serpent king Karkota.

What to do
A flat 14 km cycle from Kathmandu through Kirtipur's ancient bazaar to the reed-fringed shore of Taudaha Lake — pack a lunch and spread out on the grassy bank while coots and ducks feed in the shallows. Combine with a loop through the Chobar gorge on the return for a classic southern Valley cycle day.
A gentle 2-hour loop walk from Taudaha lake shore to the Chobar gorge — the narrow cut in the valley rim where the Bagmati river exits Kathmandu. The gorge trail passes the 14th-century Adinath Lokeshwor temple clinging to the cliff face and offers a bird's-eye view of the river cascading below.
