It has unpredictable weather - one moment it hides itself in the blanket of thick fog and another moment it reveals itself as the crown of urban Dharan. it is also known as a transit point to the namaste jharna, which is a waterfall.
Nepal Television has a High Power Transmitter Station at Bhedetar which broadcasts different Channels of Nepal Television. Transmissions are not only received by the Bhedetar but also neighbouring places.
