Valmiki National Park
Other than the Valmiki Tiger Reserve, the temples here are fascinating. Completely in the jungles within the mountains makes us a good walk. The places of importance are defined. The temple where Goddess Sita is said to depart is present right here. Half of it is in Nepal! You won't even get to know when you reached Nepal (Foreign!) and came back.
You can go up there then come back to India have your lunch and move via the Dam to Nepal again. You can reach out for the Triveni Sangam and the (Foreign) markets. Indian rupees do work there.
