Tansen is a bright Himalayan town situated on the slopes of a hill called Shreenagar Danda. Situated at an altitude of 1343meter above sea level. Tansen is the most popular summer resort in western Nepal on account of its position and climate. It has perhaps Nepal's most far stretching views of the country's chief attraction the Himalayas, from Dhaulagiri in the west to Gaurishanker in the northeast. From Shreenagar Danda one can have the views of sweeping Tinau river valley below and the surrounding Mahabharat hills including Terai's flat lands to the far south. Tansen is the headquarter of Palpa District
