The Ancient Flavor: BANDIPUR

On a wide saddle at a height of 1005m (3500 ft) overlooking the Marsyangdi river valley, Bandipur provides an unrivalled view of the Himalayan panorama (including the range of Gorkha Himal, above). The surrounding hills are ideal for hiking along trails that take you through tribal villages, verdant forests, 'power places', and hilltop shrines which once doubled as fortresses. Well-preserved Bandipur today invites travelers to come and experience its unique offerings: mountain cultures, mountain views, and mountain walking. Bandipur is tantalising-and as yet undiscovered.
