Acham

Acham lies among the western hills of Nepal, in the country drained towards the Karnali. It was one of the small principalities associated with the Baise Rajya, a group of hill kingdoms that included Jumla, Doti and Jajarkot. During the medieval period Acham also came under the kingdom of Doti. In 1790 the expanding Nepalese state annexed Doti, bringing a new power into this mountainous region.
