Introducing Narayangarh & Bharatpur
Narayangarh (also spelt Narayangadh and Narayanghat) sits at the junction of the Mugling Hwy and the Mahendra Hwy, which runs the length of Nepal, from Mahendranagar to Kakarbhitta. It's the first major town you come to once you leave the hills and it's an important transport hub, though most people only come here to change buses on the way to Royal Chitwan National Park.

If you do find yourself stopping over, there are several small mandirs(temples) along the Narayani River that offer pleasing views of the forested west shore. A more rewarding detour is the 20-minute bus trip to the pilgrimage centre of Devghat.
There are no foreign exchange facilities but you can check your email at Pulchowk Cyber Cafe (523953; per hr Rs 25; 7.30am-8.30pm).
