Namaste Falls, 80-meter waterfall in Bhedetar, Nepal
Namaste Falls is a waterfall in Sangurigadhi Rural Municipality that plunges down a rocky cliff face in a single cascading stream. The water drops sharply and creates a striking natural formation that can be seen from several vantage points in the area.
This natural landmark in the Dhankuta region has drawn visitors from neighboring areas for many generations. The waterfall became a known destination among travelers from the wider region over time.
The waterfall's name references the traditional Nepali greeting gesture, which locals say is mirrored in the shape of the cascading water. This connection makes the place meaningful to people who visit or live nearby.
Visitors can reach the waterfall by hiking from Bhedetar, though the path becomes increasingly steep as you approach. There are no shops or rest stations along the way, so bring water and snacks before you start.
When sunlight hits the falling water at certain angles, the droplets create rainbow displays that shimmer with multiple colors. This optical effect is most visible when you position yourself at specific viewing spots near the base.
