Bhimphedi (ne|भीमफेदी), is a village located in the Bhimphedi Rural Municipality of Makwanpur District of Bagmati Province of Nepal. This village is known for its bazaar (marketplace). Bismuth ore is mined here.
The word "Bhimphedi" comes from the Sanskrit name Bhīma (one of the Pāṇḍava brothers mentioned in the Mahabharata) and the Nepali word phedi which means the base of a hill. According to local beliefs, Bhīma and his brothers stayed in the forests near here during their time in exile, so the place was called Bhimphedi.
Before the construction of highways, goods from India were taken to the Kathmandu Valley through here. The first motor vehicles in Nepal were physically carried by teams of men through this village.
This village served as the district headquarters of Makwanpur District before it was shifted to Hetauda. The village market suffered tremendously after the headquarters moved.
In the 1950s, a motorable road to Kathmandu from Amalekhganj (connecting to Raxaul, India) ended at Bhimphedi.[1] This was the main access road to Kathmandu from the South.
