The Budhi Gandaki Hydroelectric Project Development Committee has identified the extent of the area that will be inundated by the reservoir of the planned 1,200 MW project and the place where the people living there will be relocated. The project is expected to displace 45,000 people. The Survey Office and Land Revenue Offices in Dhading and Gorkha have been working to mark the places that will be affected by the power plant as per the directive of the Ministry of Land Reform and Management.
Budhi Gandaki Hydro power Project is a storage type project located in Central/ western development region on the Budhi Gandaki river of Nepal. This project was identified during the Gandaki Basin Study in late 70's. In 1984, a prefeasibility study of the project was prepared. The ongoing feasibility study of the project has recommended 1200 MW capacity plant with FSL 540 masl. Location and Access: The project lies in Gorkha and Dhading districts in Western/ Central Development region of Nepal. The project site is accessible through Benighat (At about a distance of 80 km from Kathmandu) on Prithvi Highway (Kathmandu - Pokhara). From Benighat, a motorable composite bridge can be used to cross the Trishuli River and access the Dam and Powerhouse site both of which are at a distance of about 1.5 km from the road head. - Video direction by : Sandesh Ghimire
