Dhap Dam is a gorgeous man-made lake situated on the edge of Shivapuri National Park of Bagmati Province of Nepal. This project is a significant step toward cleaning and restoring the sacred Bagmati River to its original, pure, and beautiful state. The construction of Dhap Dam serves not only as a means of preserving the Bagmati River’s natural beauty but also as a way to attract more tourists to the area. Visitors can experience the refreshing cool air from the dam while enjoying the stunning views of the lake. The lush green forest surrounding the dam provides an excellent opportunity for nature enthusiasts to explore the region’s biodiversity. Additionally, the dam offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the majestic Himalayan range in the north. It will be an ideal spot for photography enthusiasts. The crystal-clear lake reflects the mountains beautifully, creating a picture-perfect view during the early hours of the day.
