Kalinchowk Bhagwati Temple is a Hindu shrine in the Dolkha District of Nepal. It is situated in Kalinchowk VDC in Dolkha at an altitude of 3842m from sea level. It’s part of the Gaurishankar Conservation Area from where two rivers Sun Kosi and Tama Kosi Rivers originated. The route from Deurali to Kuri village is the best spot for wildlife enthusiasts and birdwatchers. Charikot is also an interesting junction spot along the Kalinchowk route. Since Charikot is the headquarters of the Dolakha district, it is adequately developed in infrastructure. There is another famous temple, DolakhaBhimsen temple, which is about 30 minutes driving distance from Charikot.
