Dhoje Danda is located in the south most part of Dhankuta District, the lightest point in Mahabharata Range, which has natural beauty at its best. According to some oral history, once there used to live Lepcha community and they used to place tall pillar by putting various colored cloths that made flag at its top, so it is called Dhoje Danda (Flag Hilltop), and it was before Lepcha moved to Lepchetar. We can reach there from Dharan (Sunsari District) in almost 1 hours since is just 29 K.M. from there. Dhoje Danda is reached via Dhahran's Vedetar, Namje, Okhre, Lumphagunj by motorbike, car, jeep, bus as per availability.
Needless to say, this is definitely one of the most beautiful and enjoyable place in Far Eastern part of Nepal. One amazing thing to add in its unprecedented beauty is its always changing atmosphere which is all of a sudden covered with fog and mist, and suddenly in no time, all clear.
