Visiting Western Nepal

#9: you are correct that Pokhara (and Annapurna region) are within Nepal's "Western Development Region". (Farther West are the "mid-west" and "far-west" development regions.)

However, for tourism/trekking purposes, "West Nepal" typically refers to areas west of the Annapurnas. See, for example, the Lonely Planet Trekking in the Nepal Himalaya guidebook.

I was just letting OP know where Chandrakot and Naudanda were located, as they seemed to be asking about places further West.

What is the fastest way to get to Bardia NP from KTM?
TBri

Take a 50 minute flight to the Nepalganj Airport and then a 2.5 to 3 hour jeep or minibus ride to Bardia.

There is a village near the national park you can stay at . Apart from flight you can take long overnight bus from Kathmandu.
