Where in Nepal is this?

KUNDA DIXIT

This is the longest suspension footbridge in Nepal (and probably the world) connecting Mahendranagar with the district of Dodhara and Chandani, the two VDCs marooned on the other side of the Mahakali. The 4-km-long bridge is regarded as a civil engineering feat, and has eight towers. Although built to make the two VDCs more accessible to the rest of Nepal, the elegant bridge has become a tourist attraction in its own right and has become a favorite place for the people of Mahendranagar to go for an evening promenade. A roundtrip crossover can take as long as an hour, but the presence of many motorcycles crossing the narrow bridge is a bit of a nuisance.
