Achham
Lying nearly 930
kilometres away from the capital city, Kathmandu, Achham is one of the hilly
districts of western Nepal. Its district headquarter is Mangalsen which is
eight hours walk from the airport at Sanfebagar. Though it has seasonal road
from Safebagar to Mangalsen, it is closed during the rainy season. However, a
bridge is being built over the river Budhiganga, which will let the vehicles
drive in all the seasons.
The major castes residing there are Chhetris and Brahmins.
Among them Kunwar, Khati, Swar, Rawal, Bogati, Dhami, Bohora, Devkota,
Dhungana, Rijal, Dhakal and so on are the major ones. Thus, we can say, there
is mosaic of different castes.
There are cultural heritages which are similar to that of
Doti. Narsinga, Jhyali and Deuda are the major dances, and there are various
religious places along the river Budiganga and at the confluence of Budhiganga
and Saraswati river. Even these religious places are described in the Hindu
sacred book the Skanda Puran. These places have the potential to make Achham a
major tourist area.
The climate is moderate, with plenty of rainfall. Besides,
religious and cultural places, it has natural assets like lakes, ponds, and
other tourist areas. There are lodges for the tourists for the temporary stay.
