Bajura District

Bajura is an administrative district in southwestern Nepal containing nine municipalities, with Martadi serving as the main administrative center. The area spans varied landscape ranging from lower hills to high mountain elevations across its terrain.

The district was established as an administrative unit to govern the remote southwestern region of Nepal. Population growth over recent decades has reflected changing settlement patterns and the evolving development of this mountainous area.

Local communities here bring together Chhetri, Thakuri, and Brahman groups whose daily lives and traditions shape the character of the towns and villages. Nepali is the main language spoken, connecting residents to the broader cultural fabric of the nation.

The best time to visit is during drier months when mountain passes are more accessible. Travel can be challenging due to the remote location, so hiring local guides or getting advice from experienced travelers helps navigate the area effectively.

The region receives exceptionally high rainfall, creating different climate zones from tropical lowlands to alpine heights. This weather diversity produces surprisingly different environments and living conditions across short distances.
