The western and far-western (Sudurpaschim) regions of Nepal offer a less-crowded trekking experience with deeper immersion in nature. The landmarks here are completely different from what you find in central and eastern Nepal.

Keep in mind that West Nepal isn’t as accessible as other regions. The transport services, as well as road management, add to the difficulty of the tours you choose.

That’s where Altitude Himalaya comes in! We make sure that you’ll fly to the most accessible regions and then take private vehicle services to ensure at least a comfortable journey.

What’s fascinating is that despite being in such remote places, the people in this region are always smiling and never fall short when it comes to hospitality. They truly are the jewels of Nepal, and we assure you that your accommodation here will be worth remembering.

Some popular destinations in West Nepal include Badhimalika, Humla–Limi Valley, Api Himal Base Camp, Saipal Base Camp, Rara Lake, Dhorpatan, and more. Even Upper Mustang and Dolpo can be considered, but we have categorized them into separate Annapurna and Dolpo regions for your convenience (do check them out).

Whether you’re planning a trek or simply looking to unwind in a remote area, West Nepal has everything to offer. For post-trek activities, we highly suggest visiting nearby popular towns and cities like Nepalgunj, Surkhet, Butwal, Lumbini, etc.

Before jumping into the packages that we at Altitude Himalaya offer, let’s first understand the trekking destinations in Western Nepal a little better.
