Destination Far West

The Far Western Province, which stretches from the Himalayas to the Terai, is small in size, but full of natural beauty. Khaptad has become an identity as a paradise. The virgin greenery here is phenomenal in itself. Shuklaphota Nikuj, home to huge herds of baboons, is a major tourist destination in the remotest part of the world.

Saipal, Api Nampa is a beautiful mid-hill region under the mountain, the river channels, customs and fairs in different Shaktipeeths are leaving behind and driving the people who live elsewhere. From the traditional original culture of the Shoka community of Byas Gakha in Darchula to the Tharu community of Kailalir Kashchanpur in the Terai, the festivals and costumes and food have their own special significance. Fairs and fairs held at various Shaktipeeths, including Gaura Parva, towards the hills create a unique atmosphere. As a whole, the Far West is religiously, naturally and culturally rich.

NATURAL BEAUTY 

The natural beauty has been whitened by heavy snowfall at this time. The weather of Khaptad, which keeps changing from moment to moment, is exciting for the tourists. There is a problem in reaching Khaptad due to lack of proper arrangement of road transport and accommodation and food, but even those who have been there once have responded that 'it is a place you must visit once in your life'. Khaptad is truly supernatural and uniquely beautiful. Khaptad, where three remote hilly districts of Doti, Bajhad and Achham are connected, is spread from 2400 meters to 3700 meters above sea level. Among the 700 types of herbs found in Nepal, 124 kinds of herbs are found in Khaptad.

Khaptad is also famous for religious Hrittikona. A big fair is held in Khaptad on Ganga Dussehra around the month of May. For 50 years, the famous Swami Sachchitananda Saraswati, known as Khaptad Baba, has gained knowledge. Khaptad has become a unique identity. Api, Maigra, Ildwar and other mountains are visible.
