Why Visit Devghat Tirth
Devghat at the confluence of the Trishuli and Kali Gandaki rivers in Chitwan district is one of Nepal's most sacred pilgrimage sites. The community of Hindu sadhus who retire here forms one of South Asia's most genuine ashram communities. Makar Mela (mid-January) draws over 100,000 pilgrims to bathe at the sacred confluence.
Best Time to Visit
Devghat can be visited year-round; January is best for the Makar Mela festival.
Difficulty & What to Expect
This is an Easy destination to visit. Devghat is easily combined with a Chitwan National Park visit — 30 minutes' drive from Chitwan's Sauraha area — and remains one of Nepal's most genuine sacred sites, largely untouched by tourism.
Who It's Best For
Devghat Tirth suits spiritual seekers, sadhu-culture observers, and festival visitors.
