HistoryEdit

Tansen was the capital of the Magar kingdom palpa, one of the most powerful regional principalities before the rise of the Shah dynasty. It even came close to conquering Kathmandu in the 16th century under the leadership of Mukunda Sen. Local Magar kings lost influence in the 18th century and Tansen became a Newari bazaar on the important trade route between India and Tibetvia the Kaligandaki River and Mustang. Because it was a district administrative center of the Kingdom of Nepal, Maoists targeted Tansen several times during the Nepalese Civil War, including a major assault on the historic Durbar (palace) compound in 2006.

Nearby Srinagar Danda (hill) offers a panoramic view of the high Himalaya. From west to east, the Kanjiroba, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Mansiri, Ganesh and Langtanggroups are in sight. Other nearby attractions include Ranighat, a Rana palace next to the Kaligandaki River, and Ridi Bazaar, a major Hindu pilgrimage destination at the auspicious confluence of the Kaligandaki and Ridi Rivers. A large mela is held there on Maghe Sankranti (about January 14).

Tansen is the home of United Mission Hospital, located one mile east of the town center. The hospital was established in 1954 as a partnership between the people of Nepal and a coalition of 20 Christian organizations on four continents.[2] As of 2010, Mission Hospital has 160 beds, and the clinics there see over 100,000 patients per year. Mission Hospital is the oldest project of United Mission to Nepal (UMN), a consortium of eight worldwide Christian denominations which was formed in 1952 to coordinate missionary work in Nepal. Presently there are about a dozen expatriate medical personnel assisted by a staff of about 300 Nepalese. Mission Hospital collaborates with Tansen Nursing School, considered to be among the best training programs for basic nursing education in the country. The 2007 book, "The Hospital at the End of the World" describes the workings of Mission Hospital from the perspective of a short-term Medical Missionary. [3]

ClimateEdit

The town enjoys a moderate climate with temperatures rarely exceeding 30 Celsius (86F) or going below freezing

Home away from home: a small Kathmandu in the lap of Tansen with almost same name of places as of Kathmandu. Well preserved Newari culture with full of life. A must visit place in the travel wish-list.

A live museum to witness newari culture away from the Kathmandu Valley. One can explore Old newari homes, muesuem, pottery, dhaka udhyog, karuwa. It's great to just roam around the bazaar and learn local lifestyle. I had a great time there.

Tansen is an amazing city high in the mountains of Nepal, wherefrom we see the Himalayan range perfectly. You will never forget a journey to Tansen.
