Markhu, a beautiful place in Makwanpur, is popular for Indrasarovar Lake’s beautiful view and delicious fishes. The lake includes boating which charges US$ 1.5 per head for half and hour boating and it can be extended with the increase in price. Markhu includes impressive villages, small green forests, stunning waterfall, thrilling suspension bridge and some stone steps along the way. After a short walk from Markhu, we reach the Bheda Farm (Sheep Farm) which is the key attraction point where the doom shaped hill locks with green pasture land poses a vibrant beauty for this place.
