Bajura
Rara's western neighbour — remote ridges and Karnali headwaters
Bajura sits west of Rara Lake, its remote ridges forming part of the Karnali River's headwater region in Sudurpashchim Province.
The district offers the challenging trek toward Saipal Base Camp, at the foot of far-western Nepal's highest Himalayan peak.
Kolti, a remote village gateway, serves as the main access point for travellers heading into Bajura's wild high country.

People & Culture
Bajura is home to Khas hill communities whose traditional farming and herding practices are shaped by the district's high, rugged terrain. Limited infrastructure has kept Bajura among the least-visited districts in Sudurpashchim Province, with Kolti serving as one of the few points of connection to the wider region.
