Trip Overview

The Badimalika Trek is located in Nepal's far western region. This journey, located in Nepal's far western area, is absolutely pristine, untouched, and spectacular trekking in Nepal. Badimalika is the religious god situated high in the mountains of the Bajura district in Nepal's Seti Zone. Many pilgrims visit Badimalika each year, but because to the limited traffic during the festival, it is kept a secret from outsiders. The Badimalika magnificent spiritual ambiance is a divine experience in Nepal.

High mountain passes, ancient valleys, caves, breathtaking Himalayan views, cultural and traditional practices, lifestyle, and spirituality covering an excellent spectrum of natural beauty are the main attractions of the Badimalika trip. The beauty of the wilderness in the midst of unspoiled nature is breathtaking, and it is ideal for keen trekkers. The adventure in this area is worth exploring and gives a once-in-a-lifetime experience because the trekking in the far western region is relatively unknown and under-visited.

Bhagwati, a Hindu goddess, is honored in the Badimalika temple. It is a religiously significant site and a spiritually significant location. The trek's main highlights are its remote beauty and unspoilt culture and traditions. Remote campsites, rivers, mountains, passes, Himalayan views, and magnificent green hills can all be explored. The Badimalika trek, a hidden jewel, is the ideal way to discover the mountain's breathtaking grandeur. The wonderful grandeur of the Bajura in Nepal's west-northwest region awaits explorers. Badimalika temple is located on a small hillside. The spiritual Badimalika trek's main attraction is this. Furthermore, the trek provides the greatest views of the Api and Saipal mountain ranges.  During the Badimalika trip, you can learn about the local people's untouched culture and traditions.

The Badimalika temple is located around 4200 meters above sea level. Technically, this trek is not difficult, but the high-altitude sickness makes it difficult in this area. It's difficult to trek because of the floral smell and the high altitude. The expedition isn't entirely a camping excursion. However, because there is no human habitation in the upper section of the Bajura area, trekkers must remain in camps. Local teahouses and lodges can be found in the lower areas of the Bajura district for accommodation. The natives' hospitality is second to none.

The trek to Badimalika begins with a flight to Dhangadi in western Nepal's plains. Dadeldhura is a short drive from Dhangadi, the far west's urban hub. You'll continue on to Jadanga and Budha Krodh, two of the most pure and lovely settlements in the area. Badimalika is a little distance ahead of Triveni. You will visit the temple and take a tour of the magnificent grazelands and mountains. You will trek to Dhawalpur Lake from Badimalika. From the peak, the magnificent views of the Api and Saipal mountains are breathtaking.

Dhawalpur Lake is a wonderful lake to see in this region, nestled within the lush forest. You will trek to Lamagadh after exploring the lake. One of the most popular temples in the neighborhood is the Natyeshwari temple, which is located along the road. The Natyeshwari temple will be your destination. On the trip to Silgadhi, you will also have the option to see the Saileshwari temple. A drive from Silgadhi will take you to Dadeldhura and Dhangadi. You'll fly from Dhangadi to return back to the Kathmandu Valley.
