Tansen, an ancient hill town, with its architecture strongly influenced by Newar migrants from the Kathmandu valley is waiting to be discovered by tourists.

Situated at the southern slope of the Mahabhrat range, about half way from the Indian border to Pokhara and the Himalayas, this town offers an opportunity to experience genuine Nepalese culture, away from the westernised places like Thamel in Kathmandu or Lakeside in Pokhara. Old artistic Newari houses and cobbled streets shape the town-scape. The town's hill, Shreenagar, allows breathtaking views of the Himalayan range from Dhaulagiri in the west to Ganesh Himal in the east.
