Bhedetar (translation: Sheep's Butte) is a village development committee in Dhankuta District in the Koshi Province of eastern Nepal. The main settlement began when the Dharan - Dhankuta Highway was completed in 1982. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 2643 people living in 513 individual households.[1] It is 1,420 meters high from the sea level. It is actually on the border line of Sunsari and Dhankuta districts.
Bhedetar is a developing tourist spot. It is a small hill station just 16 kilometers away from Dharan Sub-metropolis. It has unpredictable weather - one moment it hides itself in the blanket of thick fog and another moment it reveals itself as the crown of urban Dharan. it is also known as a transit point to the namaste jharna, which is a waterfall.
Nepal Television has a High Power Transmitter Station at Bhedetar which broadcasts different Channels of Nepal Television. Transmissions are not only received by the Bhedetar but also neighbouring places.
