In the upper part of Dolakha township lies the temple of Bhimeshwar, popularly known as Dolakha Bhimsen. The people of Dolakha regard Bhimeshwar as their supreme Lord. The roofless temple houses a Shiva Linga, underneath which is a holy pond. Fairs are held at this temple on such occasions as Bala Chaturdashi, Ram Navami, Chaitre Astami and Bhima Ekadashi. During the Dashain festival, goats are sacrificed here.
Approximately 200 meters from the Bhimeshwar temple is the temple of Tripurasundari where devotees assemble during the festivals of Chaitrastami and Dashain. Only the priest of this temple is allowed a glimpse of the image enshrined within.
