About

The region has a mountainous landscape that contains many religious temples. The district is seldom visited by tourists but contains local routes to Mt. Kailash in Tibet, Rara Lake in Mugu district (Typically this is not the route to Rara lake), and the last remaining remnants of the Far Western Malla Kingdom. Nagi Malla was the last royal to live here before the Nepalese unification.

The spoken language is Doteli (Dotyali) and the majority of inhabitants are Hindu. Dadeldhura is one of the most developed district among the other hilly districts in the far western region. Dadeldhura is the hometown of former prime minister of Nepal Hon. Sher Bahadur Deuba.
