It is holy place for Hindu devotee as well as for Limbu people which is located in the Taplejung, Nepal.Here’s a faith that a visit to the Pathibhara mountain-top sanctuary is all it takes for the gods to deliver one ‘s wish.

However, there also is a perception that the religious ceremony may not be bestowed if the voyage is too easy. In the past, weather or other challenges have stopped many kings and leaders from taking a helicopter to the tempel.

Importance Of Pathibhara Temple

It was a polytheistic Limbu shrine which was worshipped by Hindus and Buddhists as a sacred shrine after the Gorkha conquest. The temple is called Pathibhara because the mountain has the shape of a pathi (a container of grains). Local Limbus venerate it as a place of power and pureness.

Regardless of how old the devotees are, they are all directed by dedication to undertake the steep all-day ascent from the path. The hill goddess Pathibhara is assumed by the devotees to be a fearsome goddess who would conveniently be honored with simple and selfless acts of love, devotion, and sacrificial sacrifices.

How To Get There

Pathibhara is in the gaunpalika of Yangwarak. The adventure to Pathibhara usually begins from Suketar, that is a 20-minute drive from Phungling Bazaar, and then from Suketar to Kafle Pati, a 1–2 hour drive away. Pathibhara Devi is from Kafle Pati, about 3–4 hours’ walk. Suketar Airport (2,840 m [9,320 ft]) at Suketar is the only STOL airport in Taplejung district with scheduled flights linking Kathmandu and Biratnagar.

However, People had to render  two-week trek from the plains in the old days but the travel time was cut to three days with the road to Taplejung. A costly, jolting jeep ride now takes pilgrims up to Tallo Phedi. Many prefer walking, because the jeep’s roller coaster ride isn’t for the faint-hearted. There is also a shortage of jeeps which means that returning pilgrims choose to go back to Fungling instead of waiting.
