Fly from Kathmandu to Dhangadhi, a flight of about an hour according to the operator itineraries we read, to the warm Terai plains at about 110 m. Transfer to a hotel, meet your guide and crew, and check permits, gear, tents, stoves and food, since the plateau has no shops. The next day is a long drive, so buy snacks and water, and have an early night. Flights can be delayed or cancelled, so do not schedule a connecting international flight on the same day, and keep your passport handy for the airport and the park permits.

Khaptad National Park Trek
A ten-day trek from Silgadhi in Doti up to the Khaptad plateau at about 3,000 m, with the ashram of Khaptad Baba, the sacred lake of Khaptad Daha and flights to and from Dhangadhi.

최적 시즌: Mar–May, Oct–Dec · 퍼밋: Khaptad National Park entry permit (NPR 3,000 for foreigners), TIMS card where your agency requires it, No restricted-area permit
The Khaptad National Park trek is a ten-day journey from Kathmandu to the high meadow plateau of Khaptad in far-western Nepal. It flies to Dhangadhi, drives about nine hours to Silgadhi, then walks up the valley road to Jhigrana, climbs a marked path to Bichpani Camp, and crosses the plateau at about 3,000 m to Khaptad, where a rest day visits the lake of Khaptad Daha and the ashram of Khaptad Baba. The return retraces the route and finishes with a drive to Dhangadhi and a flight to Kathmandu. The walking is about 72 km with 3,330 m of climbing, spread over six days. The park entry fee for foreigners is NPR 3,000. Khaptad is not a restricted area, the best months are March to May and October to December, and it is a quiet trek that few foreigners walk.
The plan follows a nine-day operator itinerary and an eleven-day one, which agree on Silgadhi, Bichpani and Khaptad, and the Great Himalaya Trail description, which says that the most popular option is to return the same way. The first walking day is long and mostly on a motor road, and the plateau is level and quiet. Lodging is sparse: expect tents at Bichpani and on the plateau, and homestays or lodges in the villages. The best months are March to May and October to December.
What the trek is like
The trek changes character on the way: a valley road with villages and terraces, a steep forest path to Bichpani, then open grass, scattered trees and a few huts on the plateau. Weather can be wet and cold even in spring, and the plateau offers no shelter in a storm.
Permits and rules
The park entry fee is NPR 3,000 for foreigners and NPR 1,500 for SAARC nationals, per the Nepal Tourism Board. Khaptad is not a restricted area. The Bajhang restricted-area entry applies only to Saipal Rural Municipality.
Best season
March to May and October to December. The Great Himalaya Trail page says winter snow closes the park from late December to the end of February.
Getting there and away
Kathmandu to Dhangadhi is about an hour by air, and the road to Silgadhi takes eight to nine hours. The return mirrors it.
Difficulty and fitness
The trek is moderate in altitude and demanding in logistics. The plateau is at about 3,000 m, so altitude is mild, but the first walking day is about 17.7 km and 1,250 m, the climb to Bichpani Camp is steep, and the journey includes two long travel days. You need to be comfortable camping for several nights and walking six to eight hours in the first days.
Budget notes
The costs section uses Nepal-wide lodge and meal ranges for the town nights, adds the park fee of NPR 3,000 and a guide and porters, shows the flight and the road transfer as lines to check, and states that tents, crew and food for the plateau are quoted by the agency.
What to pack
A warm sleeping bag, a down jacket, waterproofs, poles, a head torch, water treatment, a first-aid kit and a printed copy of your permits. Weather on the open plateau can change quickly.

루트 지도
일별 일정
전날 밤보다 1,221 m 높은 곳에서 잡니다. 일반 권장 기준인 500 m를 넘습니다. 천천히 움직이고, 물을 충분히 마시고, 두통이나 메스꺼움을 살피세요.
A long drive of about eight to nine hours from Dhangadhi to Silgadhi, the headquarters of Doti District, at about 1,330 m, along a road that climbs from the plains into the western hills. The road is rough in places and can be blocked by landslides in the monsoon. Operators give eight to nine hours, and the Great Himalaya Trail page says about six hours from Nepalgunj. Stay in a lodge at Silgadhi, check your gear and plan the next day with your guide. The walk starts early.
전날 밤보다 920 m 높은 곳에서 잡니다. 일반 권장 기준인 500 m를 넘습니다. 천천히 움직이고, 물을 충분히 마시고, 두통이나 메스꺼움을 살피세요.
The first walking day is long. From Silgadhi, walk about 17.7 km and 1,250 m up the valley road to Jhigrana, at about 2,250 m, where the park entrance is. On our map the road is the only route, and the walk takes seven to eight hours by our estimate. Some groups hire a vehicle for part of it. The valley has terraces, small villages and a view of the hills opening up as you climb. Stay in a lodge or homestay at Jhigrana, and register at the park entrance.
A shorter day of about 6.2 km, with 920 m of climbing, four to five hours, takes you from Jhigrana to Bichpani Camp, on a marked path through forest, past rhododendron and oak. Bichpani Camp is at about 3,100 m by the elevation model, a meadow with a few huts and tents, and the first place where you sleep above 3,000 m. Operators give about 2,743 m, which is far from the model, so we do not state a height. Rest in the afternoon, drink plenty of water and wrap up warm, since the nights are cold.
From Bichpani Camp, walk about 9.5 km across open plateau to Khaptad, in three to four hours, which is nearly level at about 3,000 m on grass and forest tracks. The Saipal range appears on the horizon in clear weather. Khaptad, where a hotel and the park buildings stand, is the base for the next day. Your tent or lodge is here for two nights. Rest, wander the meadows and watch for birds. You are well above 3,000 m, so a short walk in the evening helps with sleep.
A day to explore. A walk of about 5.7 km round trip, three to four hours, takes you to Khaptad Daha, the lake beside the trail to Kolti where local people believe Shiva bathed. The ashram of Khaptad Baba, who meditated here for about fifty years and died in 1996, is near the park headquarters, and Tribeni, a confluence of streams with a Shiva temple, is also on the plateau. Strong walkers can add Sahashra Linga, about 3,276 m and a five-hour round trip, if the weather is good. Dress modestly at the shrines.
A long downhill day of about 15.7 km and 1,210 m of descent, six to seven hours by our estimate, takes you from Khaptad back over Bichpani Camp to Jhigrana. The way is the same as the way up: grass and forest tracks across the plateau, then the steep marked path through forest. Because it is downhill, the day is faster than the climb, but it is hard on the knees, so use poles. You sleep at Jhigrana again, where the lodge is familiar.
Walk about 17.7 km down the valley road from Jhigrana to Silgadhi, with 1,240 m of descent, six to seven hours by our estimate. You can ask a vehicle to meet you part of the way, as the road reaches the Jhigrana area. At Silgadhi you reach roads, shops and a hot meal. The last night in the hills is a good time to thank your crew, and to repack for the long drive tomorrow. Silgadhi sits at about 1,330 m.
Drive from Silgadhi to Dhangadhi, eight to nine hours. The road drops from the hills to the plains and is slow in places, so leave early and carry snacks, water and a warm layer for the first cool hours. Spend the night in a hotel at Dhangadhi near the airport, ready for the morning flight, and settle accounts with your crew and guide this evening. If rain has closed the road, tell your agency early so it can rebook the flight for the next available day.
Fly from Dhangadhi to Kathmandu, about an hour, and arrive in the city by midday if the weather is clear. Flights in the far west are the most likely to be cancelled, so keep a spare day in your plan before an international flight, and ask your agency about the next available seat if the morning flight does not operate. Transfer to your hotel, wash, and rest, then spend the afternoon in the city. Ten days of camping and simple food leave most people glad of a proper bed.
