  • One thousand people climbed the tower on the first day

Skywalk (glass walking bridge) built in Bhedetar, one of the famous tourist destinations of the country, has been operational since Friday. Koshi Chief Minister Hikmat Kumar Karki inaugurated the tower.


This is the first project of Koshi region under the private partnership of Vedetaar Skywalk Project. On the first day of its operation, nearly one thousand foreign and domestic tourists have climbed the skywalk tower.

The tower has been built at Charles Point in Bhedetar, the confluence of Dhankuta's Sangurigarhi Rural Municipality-4 and Dharan Sub-Metropolitan City-6. The skywalk has been built in coordination with Koshi Province Investment Authority, Sangurigarhi Rural Municipality of Dhankuta and Dharan Sub-Metropolitan City of Sunsari. A project development agreement was signed between the provincial investment authority and the developer four years ago on February 9, 2077 with the aim of completing it in two years.

Wonders Amusement Parks and Attractions Pvt. Ltd.'s Skywalk was built with an investment of 20 million rupees, Sanjeev Rokah, executive director of the project informed. "Due to various problems, the construction period has been extended," he said, "even though it took a little longer, there is a lot of excitement and happiness after the work is completed and operational." "The collective actions of the three levels of government have been successful," he said.

41 meters long, 2 meters wide skywalk is built on the model of a cantilever tower, according to the project source . The height of the tower is 18.5 meters. The construction of the skywalk, which was started four years ago during the time of the then Chief Minister of Koshi Province Sherdhan Rai, was completed during the time of the current Chief Minister Karki.

After the construction in Kamaladi in Kathmandu and Kanyam in Ilam, Wonders Group has built a skywalk in Vedetaar, informed the chairman of the project, Atrakhar Pokharel. 33 mm glass is used in the skywalk. He said that 20 direct and 100 indirect people will get employment in the project. Project chairman Pokharel said that the tower was built targeting tourists from India, Bangladesh and different countries.

In the opening program, the head of Dharan sub-metropolitan city, Harkaraj Rai, the president of Sangurigarhi rural municipality, Jitendra Rumdali Rai, and others expressed the view that the three levels of government should go together in tourism promotion .
