Bishnumati

The Kathmandu Valley witnessed heavy rainfall, causing floods in the river and streams.

A 20-year master plan aiming to promote the civilisation of the Bagmati river system and its tributaries is likely by April next year.

Water from Bishnumati and Dhobikhola may reach the coastal settlements and roads.

About three metric tons of garbage has been managed from the Bagmati river by cleaning its western bank near the Koteshwar Mahadev Temple

Bishnumati is a 15.2 km (9.44 miles) long river that originates from Bishnu Dwar Tarebhir, north of Kathmandu. In literal translation, Bishnumati means the beloved river of Lord Vishnu.
