Bajura

Bajura lies in the high country of far western Nepal, where deep valleys rise towards the Saipal Himalaya. It was one of the Baise Rajya, the small hill kingdoms of the Karnali and Bheri region, alongside neighbours such as Bajhang and Achham. In 1791 Bajura became a vassal of the expanding kingdom of Nepal. The mountain shrine of Badimalika and the waters of Triveni are places of pilgrimage in this rugged landscape.
