The Badimalika trek stands out as one of the finest and least explored trekking routes in western Nepal. Renowned for its captivating features, this trek offers a blend of high mountain passes, ethnic villages, awe-inspiring natural scenery, spiritual encounters, insights into local lifestyles, verdant hills, snow-capped Himalayan peaks, secluded natural campsites, untamed trails, and pristine landscapes in the western part of Nepal. Situated in the Bajura district of the Seti Zone, the Badimalika Temple is devoted to Bhagwati, adding a religious dimension to the trek.
Beyond its religious significance, the trek unveils numerous natural and cultural wonders. A major highlight of the journey is a visit to the Badimalika Temple, perched on a hillock, while the Api and Saipal mountain ranges enhance the trek's scenic allure. For a more comprehensive adventure, the Badimalika Trek can be combined with the Khaptad National Park Trek, as Badimalika lies within Khaptad National Park—one of Nepal's 12 national parks.
The Badimalika Temple, situated at an elevation of 4,200 meters above sea level, is a prominent religious site. Lower portions of the trek offer accommodation options in local tea houses and lodges, but the upper regions lack human settlements, requiring trekkers to carry their own food and tented camps. Our Badimalika Trek Itinerary, guided by experienced trekking leaders, ensures a well-planned exploration of this untouched region, providing breathtaking views of the Api and Saipal peaks.
The flexible Badimalika trekking itinerary allows for the inclusion of other popular destinations in the vicinity. One such option is the Khaptad National Park Trek, encompassing an area of 225 square kilometers and featuring diverse flora and fauna. The park is also the spiritual abode of the renowned Khaptad Baba.
With mesmerizing mountain vistas and lush greenery, trekkers can find solace and relaxation. Enjoy the crisp alpine air and soak up the warm sunshine against the backdrop of inspiring mountains. While the Badimalika trail is open year-round, heavy snowfall in winter may pose challenges to trekking. Recognized as one of the most challenging treks in western Nepal, the Badimalika trek offers an unparalleled adventure for those seeking a unique and off-the-beaten-path experience.
