           I am Kavita Rai. I live in Pashupatinagar, ward no.4 in Ilam distirct. It is
           located in the Eastern Development Region. It is a small but beautiful
           village situated at top of a hill.


           It is surrounded by hills and thick forest. Mostly, the forest consists of
           Pine, Fir, Juniper, Brich and  vegetations. But, the forests are gradually
           getting thinner due to landslides and new settlements.

           We  have  animals  such  as  musk  deer,  leopard,  porcupine,  red  panda,
           jackals including many birds and rare insects. The rare herb ‘Yarsagumba’
           is also found uphill. We also have different kinds of Rhododendron here.

















           The major river of this region is Mechi. It borders India. The view of Mt.
           Kanchangha  has  made  Pashupatinagar  more  beautiful.  The  temple  of
           Devi (also popular as Devisthan) is very popular. Many people visit this
           temple from different places.
