About This Tour

The Badimalika Trek combines Hindu pilgrimage with mountain trekking in one of Nepal’s most remote and least-visited regions. Badimalika Temple sits at 4,200m in the hills of Bajura district, one of the four Bhagwati temples of Nepal and a site of deep spiritual significance. The trek to the temple passes through pristine forests, alpine meadows, and villages of the Doteli and Bajhangi communities who maintain the traditions of far-western Nepal.

This is pilgrimage trekking at its most authentic — the devotees who make this journey are local families from the surrounding districts, and joining them on the trail is a window into the spiritual life of rural Nepal. The western Himalayan range, including Api and Saipal, forms the backdrop to a trek that is both physically rewarding and spiritually meaningful.
