Tansen is situated at an altitude of 1343 Mts. above sea level. It is the most popular summer resort in western Nepal on account of its position and climate. It has perhaps Nepal 's most far stretching view of the country's chief attractions, the Himalayas –from Dhaulagiri in the west to Gaurishanker in the north-east. It takes just seven hours by bus from Pokhara to reach Tansen.
