Kaski District, Administrative district in western Nepal
Kaski District is an administrative division in western Nepal spanning from low plains to high mountain peaks. The region encompasses varied landscapes where elevation changes create different environments, from subtropical valleys to alpine terrain.
The region was once the center of an ancient kingdom that gave the area its name. Administrative changes in the early 1800s reshaped how the territory was governed and organized.
Multiple communities live and work throughout the district, each maintaining their own traditions and ways of life. Visitors can see these different cultures reflected in local customs, clothing, and daily practices across towns and villages.
The district headquarters connects to major cities through established road networks that make travel straightforward. Having access to these main routes means reaching and moving around the region is relatively convenient.
The northern part of the district features a distinctive mountain whose southern slopes lead toward high snowy peaks. This summit has never been officially climbed despite many attempts and remains special to mountaineers who visit.
