Satdhara, Chitlang

Satdhara is a beautiful and peaceful natural site located in Chitlang, Makwanpur district of Nepal. The word Satdhara means "seven taps," and it refers to the stone water spouts that continuously flow with fresh spring water. These taps are built in a traditional style, carved out of stone, and hold cultural as well as historical importance for the local community.

Surrounded by lush greenery, forests, and terraced fields, Satdhara is a popular stop for travelers visiting Chitlang. The water here is clean, refreshing, and believed to be pure, making it a reliable source for villagers and visitors alike. Many people rest at this place while trekking around Chitlang, Kulekhani, or on the route towards Markhu and Indra Sarovar.

Satdhara is not only a natural water source but also a social gathering spot where locals come to fetch water, wash, and interact with one another. It represents the traditional Nepali lifestyle where stone taps (dhunge dhara) were central to daily life. Today, it has also become a small attraction for domestic tourists and hikers exploring the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Chitlang.
