Package Overview

Tansen is an ancient hill town, famous for its architecture strongly influenced by Newari migrants from the Kathmandu valley. Until 1700 A.D., Palpa was a separate kingdom ruled by the farmed Sen Rulers. After its conquest by the Shah dynasty, and later during the rule of Rana family oligarcha in the mid-Nineteenth to mid-Twenteeth centuries, the area became known as an exile kingdom where those out of favor were sent to spend their lives. The township of Tansen is among a few towns outside the capital which bears a rich legacy of the traditional art and architecture.Tansen offers an opportunity to experience genuine Nepali culture and nature. Perched on the lap of the spectacular Srinagar Danda (hill) Tansen, commands a gorgeous panorama of the Himalayas as well as the plains of Terai. The views of the Himalayan range from Dhaulagiri to Ganesh Himal are breathtaking. At 1,350 meters the Palpa experience a pleasant climate though out the year.
