Tansen

Situated on the slopes of a hill called Shreenagar Dhanda, Tansen is a bright Himalayan town. It is also the most popular summer resort of western Nepal on account of its position and climate. It has perhaps Nepal’s most far stretching views of the country’s chief attraction- The Himalayas from Dhaulagiri in the west to Gaurishankar in the northeast.

Cultural Programs offer a fascinating glimpse of Nepal’s diverse ethnic and cultural traditions. There are several places in Kathmandu where folk dance and musical performance are held every evening. Nepalese folk dances are an expression of jot. They celebrate the changing of the seasons or youthful romances. Evening time in rural Nepal is often filled with the sound of village song festivals and spontaneous gatherings.
