Batase Dada is a beautiful place located in Kathmandu. It is in the capital city of Nepal but it still holds its natural beauty. It is the perfect place to escape from city life. A beautiful view of Kathmandu city can be seen from the top of this place. Kathmandu is surrounded by green hills. Kritipur is also seen from here. Views are more beautiful when the weather is crystal clear.
15-20 years before this place was not as developed as today. There were no proper roads. There were farming fields everywhere. In some places, there were stone mines too.
