Arun III Hydropower project is one of the major subjects that really matters to the residents. About 3 km north from Khandbari lies another small bazaar known as Manebhanjyang which is really an emerging business centre. Khandbari is main route for trekking to Mount Makalu, 5th highest peak in the world.
