DOTI

Doti was an ancient kingdom in the far western region of Kumaon which was formed after the disintegration of the Katyuri kingdom. It carries huge historical importance of Nepal. The historic place of war between the Doti Kingdom and GorkhaKingdom during the period of expansion of Nepal in 1790 is Nari-Dang which lies on the bank of the Seti River. Doti was captured by Gorkha forces, and the Gorkha rulers went on to destroy several historical sites in Doti.

Doti is among the more naturally unexplored places in Nepal. The natural beauty of the district cannot be denied. The district has two major rivers Seti and Mahakali River which are both historically and naturally very important to Nepal. The district covers hill valleys and the inner terai valleys. It is a great escape for those who want to avoid city chaos and can give themselves some time with nature. The district has alpine meadows, forests, hills, lakes and rivulets which make it a very wonderful place to hike and trek while soaking in its natural beauty.
