Buddhashanti Gauda is a scenic and historical place in Buddhasahanti Rural Municipality 6 also known as Jorsaghu. It is situated on the border of Buddhasahanti and Rong Rural Municipality of Illam.
The name “Gauda” comes from its historical significance as the entry point to the Jhapa district, which was a walking route for the people of Illam to enter the district.
One of the main attractions of Buddhasahanti Gauda is Jorsaghu, a suspension bridge located in Temai and Thotne rivers, which flows through the area and takes the shape of saghu (a traditional Nepali musical instrument), giving the place its unique name.
The confluence of Temai and Thotne rivers provides a natural and relaxed environment, which attracts people from nearby towns such as Birtamod, Budhabare, Dhulabari, Kakarvitta, and Bhadrapur, who come here to beat the heat during summer and enjoy swimming.
In addition to its natural beauty, Buddhasahanti Gauda is also known for its historical houses constructed during the Rana Regime. The area is abundant in greenery, and visitors can enjoy the local culture and ethnic traditions of the people.
