Khaptad National Park, established in 1984 in Nepal's far west, offers a secluded wilderness experience and features diverse flora, fauna, and religious significance due to Khaptad Baba and a very scenic landscape and non-touristic trek. Only a small percentage of travelers visit Nepal's wilderness national parks, and the Khaptad National Park Tour provides one of such experiences.

Trip Overview

Khaptad National Park Tour offers one of the non-touristic wilderness national park experiences in Nepal that is visited by very few numbers of tourists. The area of the park is 225 square km. The Khaptad National Park, one of the main attractions of Khaptad, was established in 1984 in the far western region of Nepal. It is covered by beautiful oak and rhododendron forests. Bear, leopard, common langur, musk deer, 260 species of birds, 500 types of herbs, and a large number of flora and fauna are found in this national park situated at 12 thousand feet from the sea level.

Khaptad area is known as the ground-heaven of far west Nepal. Known for its natural beauty and biological diversity, the Khaptad area can be reached through Doti, Achham, Bajang and Bajura Districts of Nepal. It is easier to reach the Khaptad area through Bajhang and Doti District. In addition to its natural varieties, the Khaptad National Park is a very renowned religious place, as it is the domicile of Hindu guru "Khaptad Swami" or "Khaptad Baba," a renounced hermit. Khaptad Baba lived here for many years and found out many healing herbal plants. He meditated in the Khaptad area for a long time and reserved a five-kilometer area for the meditation and tranquility.

Khaptad Lake and the wonderful view of Api and the Saipal Himal range are of special interest for the tourists. The biggest carnival known as Ganga Dashahara Carnival gets held in Khaptad on 14 Jestha of Nepali month that falls in the last week of May. For the tourists, the carnival is a great opportunity to see far western culture and lifestyle. Butchering, alcohol and tobacco are forbidden in his area.
