Menchem means young girl in Limbu language. Menchhemchuli, located above the cave pond of Sankhuwasabha, is called Menchhem Thegun in Limbu language, which means the hill where the youth stands. According to the myth, in ancient times, an old Limbu old man who had a religious inclination, saw twelve very beautiful Limbuni Suni girls standing in a line in this place while the sun was rising in the morning. Just when he was about to ask whose girls they were, suddenly those girls became aware. From that day on, this place was called Menchhem Thegun, meaning the hill where the youth stood. The myth is not limited to this. According to another myth, Pathibhara Chuli was a sister of the Menchhemchuli sisterhood located in Taplejung. There was an amazing harmony between the sisters and they never separated for a moment, they always stayed together. Once Bhimsena did not like the fact that the world was tall, rough, hilly, up and down, and he was worried about how he could monopolize it. One day God came to him in the evening and said: “I will give you this special type of plough. If you can plow it for one whole night without sunrise, this whole world will be leveled.” Then Bhimsen immediately started plowing with oxen. Being a great man, he plowed a lot during the night, but he could not finish plowing the whole world, the sun was rising. As much as he plowed the land became a flat plain, the land that was not plowed remained a hill. When Bhimsen plowed the land, the land became rough and Menchem and Pathivara were separated from each other. Now both of them are in the form of beautiful Chuli.
