Quick answer
It is based at Tansen (Palpa). Use your current location for navigation; as a planning reference, it is about 58 km from Buddha Chowk. Plan for 36 hours of activity time, with 1 hr 41 min of total journey time from that reference point where route data is available, and moderate difficulty.
Explore the heritage bazaar of Tansen and visit the romantic Rani Mahal palace on the Kali Gandaki gorge — 'the Taj Mahal of Nepal'. While a day trip is possible from Butwal, we highly recommend an overnight stay for travelers from Pokhara, Bhairahawa, or even Butwal to truly enjoy the Newari culture, Srinagar Danda views, and the palace without rushing.
