Other destinations

• Dang-Deukhuri - Lowland valleys in western Nepal inhabited by Tharus who have a very distinctive culture.
• Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve - Large east-west valley south of the western Dhaulagiri Range. It connects the far western Karnali-Bheri basin that is the birthplace of the Nepali language (and probably its rulers) to the Gandaki basin that they migrated into before unifying the country. This is also a trekking gateway to the far west, the Dhaulagiri Range, and to Dolpa and other high valleys with Tibetan culture beyond the Dhaulagiris.
