Janakpur

Janakpur is one of the popular tourist destinations in Nepal which is located in Dhanusa district. It is more a site for pilgrimage than for merely doing a tour. It is the birthplace of Sita, the wife of the Hindu God Ram who was the daughter of king Janak who’s been well-known in Hindu mythology for his intellect and wisdom. It is believed that both of them got engaged and eventually married in Janakpur which is portrayed by the statues of deities and saints performing the wedding ceremony at Ram Janaki temple. Due to this reason, a big festival called ‘Bibaha panchami’ is celebrated each year with special functions, to mark their wedding anniversary.

Besides this, Janakpur is the host to the only railway station of Nepal, which connects Janakpur to Jayanagar of India.
