Khaptad National Park, located in the far-western region of Nepal, is a hidden treasure filled with natural beauty, cultural significance, and biodiversity. Covering an area of 225 sq. km, the park is home to dense forests, rolling meadows, and rich wildlife, including over 270 species of birds and rare medicinal plants. Established in 1984, Khaptad remains one of Nepal’s least-explored national parks, making it an ideal destination for those seeking solitude and adventure.
The park is not just known for its landscapes but also for its spiritual significance. Khaptad Baba, a revered Hindu sage, meditated here for years, and his ashram remains a pilgrimage site. The park also hosts religious sites like the Triveni confluence, where three rivers meet, and Khaptad Daha, a serene lake surrounded by lush greenery. Triveni is also home to a Shiva temple and is a major pilgrimage site during the Ganga Dashahara festival on Jestha Purnima. Another religious highlight is Sahashra Linga, the highest point in the park at 3,200 meters, along with Ganesh Temple, Nagdhunga, and Kedardhunga—places of deep spiritual significance where visitors are expected to maintain peace. To preserve the sanctity of these sites, alcohol, tobacco, and animal sacrifices are strictly prohibited.
Tourists visiting Khaptad National Park can engage in various activities, including trekking, birdwatching, and exploring the diverse flora and fauna. The park offers mesmerizing views of the snow-capped Himalayas and tranquil surroundings untouched by mass tourism. Whether for adventure seekers, spiritual travelers, or nature lovers, Khaptad National Park promises an unforgettable experience.
This itinerary provides an immersive experience into the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Khaptad National Park, offering adventure, spirituality, and serenity in Nepal’s lesser-explored region.
