Ideally located on the slopes of Shreenagar hill about 4800 ft. above sea level is a lovely little town called Palpa / Tansen. It commands a magnificent view of the best known peaks of the Nepal Himalayas including Dhaulagiri and Tukuche in the west to Gaurishanker in the extreme north east.

Inhabited by a little over 17000 people this peaceful small hill town has the pride of being the administrative headquarters of Palpa district lying in Lumbini Zone of Nepal. Tansen with its rich natural beauty and fine cultural heritage has proved itself to be very ideal resort for peace holidays makers.

Tansen is also known for the nostalgic remains of many old fortresses. One can probably discover many interesting legends simply by taking a short leisurely walk through this medieval town.

The climate here is very healthy and moderate. The maximum temperature here in summer stays with 28 degree Celsius and in winter minimum with 8 degree Celsius. Tansen is about 8 hours scenic drive from Kathmandu. From Pokhara it is only 140 km. The nearest airport to this place is Bhairahawa.
