Bhairabsthan Temple, Hindu temple in Palpa District, Nepal

Located 8 kilometers from Tansen city, Bhairabsthan Temple stands at 1470 meters above sea level with views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains.

King Mukunda Sena of the Sena dynasty brought a statue of Lord Bhairav from Matsyendra Nath Temple in Kathmandu to establish this temple in Palpa.

The temple maintains the tradition of Panchabali, involving sacrifices of five different male animals including buffalo, goat, sheep, duck, and hen.

Visitors can access the temple by four-wheel drive vehicles, with November and December offering the most favorable weather conditions for travel.

The temple houses the largest trident in Asia and keeps its original Bhairab statue hidden, displaying only a replica for public viewing.
