English translation:Devghat, Devighat
Explanation:
I'm getting hits for both these terms. It appears to be a place in Nepal, correct? But Devghat is in Tanahu district, not Chitwan.

agree  MariyaN (X): I would say, "Devighat", since "Devghat" is supposed to be transliterated as デブガート or デヴガート in Japanese.

agree  Tomoyuki Kono: As MariyaN suggests, the Japanese transliteration implies Devighat, but all the Nepali sources I checked in the Nagari script have 'Devghat'.

Devghat


Explanation:
Here are a few sentences I picked up from the below website. This indicates that Devghat is in the Chitwan area. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devghat
-- Devghat has beautiful natural features due to its geography, tropical forests, wild animals, birds, climate etc. It is just 7 km from the city center of Narayangarh, 20 km from Sauraha (another tourist city in Chitwan) and 150 km southwest from Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal.
-- Devghat Ayurveda Health Post: It is located in the Chitwan part of Devghatdham. It is the oldest health post in this area. It provides both traditional and ayurvedic modes of treatment to the locals.
