The far west is called the far west because of its distance from the rest of the country. Actually it is only 600 km away from Katmandu but due to geographical terrain, it takes many days to reach the interior parts of far west. It is really a great place to discover new virgin mountains, hills, temples and culture .The mountains of this region are beautiful and I have no words to express how lovely this region is .It seems to take one back to a forgotten area because not much development has taken place here and no one has written or publicized the area. Had the mountains of the Farwest been on any other continent, there would have been a queue waiting to climb these mountains. The region is great for its culture, tradition, temples, different types of climate and peace.
The districts of the far west are famous for their temples and celebrations. S

In the summer the city is "Naturally air conditioned", which makes it a great gateway when the temperature in Terai crosses 40 degrees centigrade. Silgadhi in Doti district offers extra ordinary views, especially of Dipayal and Seti River.
Simarly Baitadi,Darchula,Bajhang and Bajura each offer visitors wonderful memories of graceful life and surroundings that is as extreme as it is beautiful.Kailali,one of the most fertile lands of the country is a great winter residence.

Farwest Nepal is rarely visited by westerners. Farwest Nepal is mainly dominated by ancient Hindu culture. On the trekking route several "MANDU" (temples) can be seen of high religious 
importance. One can see the "DHAMI" (shaman) with turban, limbs covered with silver bangles, gold rings in the ear. On religious occasions he makes prophecies and heals the people. Trekking in Farwest Nepal is very easy. Trails are wide, hill slopes are gentle, no major elevations, does not require any prior hiking experience, suitable for all age group. Superb views of western Himalayas can be seen all the time during the trek. Trekking in Farwest Nepal is the best alternate for heavily crowded Annapurna and Everest region in central and e
astern Nepal.
