Khaptad plateau
6 days · Moderate · 6-day far-western highland trek and pilgrimage circuit
Nepal's far-western highland park — a rolling plateau of open pastures, mixed forest and small lakes between 1,400 m and 3,300 m. Six days door-to-door from Kathmandu via Dhangadhi, including the drive in, two days walking onto the plateau, two days exploring the pilgrimage sites and pastures, and the walk and drive out. Genuinely off the trekking-tourist track — far fewer foreign visitors than the central Himalaya.
