Dhusha
village development committee in Bagmati Zone, Nepal
Dhusha or Dhussa, now Benighat Rorang, is a rural municipality (gaunpalika) in Dhading District in the Bagmati Zone of central Nepal. At the time of the 2011 Nepal census it had a population of 7190. The Dhusha office is located at Charaundi Bazar, which is one of the commencing places for whitewater rafting in the Trishuli River. The bazar, which is located along the Prithvi Highway, is also the main business area for the whole rural municipality. Like the general geographical status of the whole country, Dhusha rises from low altitude to medium-high altitude region. Charaundi Khola (Charaundi Stream), flows very close to the bazar.
Dhusha proudly boasts that it is one of the few rural municipalities in the country producing tonnes a of vegetables all the year round—cabbages, brinjals, bitter gourds, tomatoes, etc. The vegetables are sent to Kalimati Vegetable Market in Kathmandu and also to various other cities and towns in the country, including Mugling, Narayanghat, Pokhara, Biratnagar, and Dharan. The agricultural development and production also helps the local ethnic communities, such as the Chepang community.
Tourism is also a source of income in the rural municipality, as the area is rich in natural resources.
