Saipal Base Camp Trek

This is an adventurous but extremely rewarding and beautiful off-the-beaten-track trek to the base camp of western Nepal’s second highest mountain, stunning Mt. Saipal (7031m). It is best trekked between mid-October and November after the harvest has cleared fields to camp on, as there are no designated camp sites. It’s logistically complex; you need to bring your own porters on this trek as locals in this rarely visited region are unfamiliar with foreign trekking routines. A 24 days itineraries runs from Silghadi (a sealed road reaches Silghadi from Dhanghadi) through Khaptad National Park to reach the Seti River Valley and the Bajhang District capital of Chainpur, from where you continue on to Saipal Base Camp. There are flights of Chainpur at the end of the trek. If you are flying in and out of Chainpur, Budget three weeks. You should send your porters ahead by bus, the fair weather road stops at Tamil Bazzar, about 2 hours from Chainpur. The people of this region are extremely welcoming towards trekkers.
