Take an early morning scenic flight to Dhangadhi, located in the subtropical Terai region. After landing, begin a picturesque 4-hour drive to Dadeldhura, a charming hill town surrounded by pine forests and offering panoramic views of Api and Saipal Himal ranges. This town also reflects the rich culture of the Far West, where you’ll see both Hindu temples and lively bazaars.

After breakfast, continue your journey by road. The 6-hour drive takes you through winding mountain roads, terraced hillsides, and traditional villages. You’ll reach Jadanga or next to Martadi, the district headquarters of Bajura, which serves as the gateway to Badimalika. From here trek starts. 

Your trekking adventure begins today with a steady uphill walk through farmlands, pine and oak forests, and scattered settlements. Along the way, you’ll encounter locals busy in their fields, friendly children, and sweeping mountain landscapes. Today’s walk provides your first immersive experience into the untouched beauty of Far West Nepal.

The trail climbs higher into alpine terrain, where forests give way to pastures and open meadows. The walk is challenging yet rewarding, with yaks grazing and snowy peaks appearing in the distance. By evening, you’ll reach Triveni, a sacred pilgrimage site where three holy rivers converge. This campsite is considered spiritually powerful and attracts pilgrims from across Nepal.

Today is reserved for acclimatization and exploration. You may take short hikes around Triveni Patan, practice meditation or yoga, and interact with pilgrims who often share fascinating stories about the temple’s spiritual significance. The area is also ideal for photography, with sweeping meadows and peaks surrounding the sacred ground.

This is the most awaited day of the trek. Following a panoramic ridgeline trail, you ascend gradually towards the sacred Badimalika Temple. Draped in prayer flags and set on a dramatic hilltop, this temple is deeply revered in Hinduism and offers stunning views of Mt. Api, Mt. Saipal, and the distant Tibetan ranges. Pilgrims believe that blessings from Badimalika bring prosperity and peace. Spending time here is often described as a spiritually moving experience.

After offering morning prayers at the temple, begin your descent towards Nauli. The trail passes through grassy pastures, rhododendron forests, and occasional yak herders’ settlements. Nauli is a serene campsite surrounded by rolling green hills, making it a perfect place to relax after a long day’s walk.

Continue trekking downhill through thick forests and cultivated farmlands. Along the way, you will pass through several traditional villages, where you can observe the daily lifestyle of Bajura locals, known for their warm hospitality and simplicity. This day offers a great mix of natural scenery and cultural immersion.

Your final trekking day takes you back to Martadi, marking the completion of the Badimalika circuit. You can spend the evening celebrating your successful journey with the trekking team and exploring the small but lively bazaar town.

Retrace the scenic drive through winding hill roads and farmlands back to Dadeldhura. This is a relaxed day, giving you time to rest and reflect on the trekking experience.

After breakfast, drive back down to Dhangadhi and enjoy a farewell lunch. In the afternoon, take a scenic flight back to Kathmandu. In the evening, enjoy a farewell dinner with cultural performances, marking the end of your trek.

After breakfast, our representative will transfer you to Tribhuvan International Airport for your final departure. We hope you leave Nepal with unforgettable memories of the Badimalika Trek.
