It is a 55 km three hour drive from Katmandu to Palanchowk Bhagawati temple on the Arniko Highway. This noted historic temple of Goddess Bhagawati is located at a hilltop some 10-km north of Panchkhal. One can really enjoy the panoramic view of the landscape all around. On Saturdays and Tuesdays many worshippers come to this temple from the different places of Nepal. It is said that Palanchowk Bhagawati, Naxal Bhagawati and Shobha Bhagawati are sisters and Palanchowk Bhagawati is the eldest among them.

This temple is said to have been constructed during the reign of Man Deva, a famous Lichhavi king. The temple houses a three feet high idol of Goddess Bhagawati (Kali) artistically carved in black stone, which is so attractive and rich in art and craft. In the middle ages, the seven areas Banepa, Panauti, Nala, Dhulikhel, Khadpu, Chaukot and Sanga comprised a political unit. Now all these places lie in Kavre Palanch district.

There is a story about how this temple lies here. One day the people of Buchakot dreamt that Goddess Bhagawati told them to take her to the north. Then the local people of Buchakot took her to the north with great respect. On the way, they had to rest at the present Palanchowk Bhagawati site. The next day they tried to pick the idol up it but they were unable to lift it off the place. Then, the temple was built there.

On full moon day and Dasain or Durga Puja, there is the festival in Palanchowk Bhagawati. A Bajrachaya member of Mokha Tole of Kathmandu has been the priest of Palanchowk Bhagawati from ancient days. It is believed that the face of the Goddess sweats whenever there is going to be some unprecedented event in the country. On Bhadra 5, 2045 B.S. sweat was observed right before the earthquake. Earlier in 2029 B.S., before the army plane crash near Dhulikhel, sweat was seen on the face. It is the responsibility of the government and the nation to preserve and develop such historical and religious place.
