To the south, on the road to Dakshinkali - about 3 kms from our Chobhar Resort - is Taudaha Lake, the only lake in Central Nepal. It is known to harbour more than 40 varieties of birds mostly dependent on wetlands.

The place Taudaha takes its name from the lake Ta daha situated here from the time immemorial which also holds the ancient history of Kathmandu valley long before the settlement of human society. It is believed that the valley, now established as the capital of the nation, was a big lake until the period in which the mythical history of Nepal begins. At this time, it is believed lord Manjushree cut off the mountain peak at Chobhar by forming a gorge to evacuate the water from the lake, making it suitable for habitation and eventually the human civilization is believed to set up in the valley.

Located in the Kirtipur side of Kathmandu valley, it is approximately 10km-11km from Thamel. Tau Daha is popular as a holy lake or pond, but yet it is a favorite location for holidaying or for short trips. The fresh air, silent water, fish feeding, bird watching, photo shooting, sitting and enjoying them are major attractions. It is known to harbor more than 40 varieties of birds mostly dependent on wetlands. The greater area encompassing Taudaha, Bagmati and Pharping harbours a total of 120 wild birds including the Rudy Shelduck, the Common Coot and the Common Pochard.
