Dhading besi is a town in Nepal. The word besi in the Nepali language means valley bottom, which is why many people settled here.
Most of or all of the government activities for this district are located here. Buildings like the Forestry Centre, Soil Conservation Centre, Animal Husbandry centre, Hospital, and Bus Park are located here. As of 2000, plans were in place to pave the road leading to King Prithvi Highway.
The town is divided into three parts along the main road: bus park bazaar, middle bazaar, and electricity bazaar. Electricity bazaar is (was?) the end of motorized road travel.
Dhading Besi is located along the banks of two small rivers that run year road, heaviest during the monsoon season. There are small restaurants and hotels dotted along the road but the absolute best place to eat is the Tarpula Hotel, which is located in the "electricity bazaar". Otherwise much of the town is surrounded by rice and wheat fields.
The town's elevation is 2,200 feet (677m).
