Surkhet Valley: Gateway to Mid-Western Nepal’s Natural and Cultural Heartland

Surkhet Valley, located in Karnali Province, is one of Nepal’s largest and most important inner Terai valleys. Surrounded by green hills and shaped by the Bheri River and its tributaries, the valley serves as a regional hub, a tourism gateway to Rara and Bardiya, and a cultural melting pot where the Himalayas meet the plains.
