The Baraha Chhetra Tour is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Nepal. The temple is located in Barahakshetra municipality, in the Sunsari district of Nepal.

The enthralling blend of Hinduism and Buddhism in Nepal has been able to draw a large number of tourists from across the world.

The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. According to Hindu mythology, it is believed that Lord Vishnu saved the earth from drowning with his long tusk by taking the incarnation of Varaha (an avatar of God Vishnu to change into a boar). Therefore, with faith and belief among the Hindu devotees, every year thousands of pilgrims from Nepal as well as India take a holy journey to this temple. The temple is built in pagoda style. There is a big statue of Baraha, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The temple is sacred and is a very important pilgrimage site for Hindu devotees.
