Posts of Salyan

While Karnali Province is often associated with food scarcity, Salyan stands out for its food surplus and even manages to export vegetables to Nepalgunj. If someone were to ask you about the shortest man, you could confidently mention Chandra Bahadur Dangi from Salyan, who was only 54.6 centimeters tall and lived to the age of 75.

If you are interested in creating a film about nomads, you would need to visit Salyan to meet the Raute people, who are often referred to as the “kings of the jungle”. This community leads a nomadic life and moves between districts such as Surkhet, Achham, Dailekh, and Salyan.
