Destination Ramaroshan

Welcome to the pristinity……
RamaRoshan region which lies in Accham district, the far western part of Nepal, is famous for its 12 wetlands and 18 flatlands. Locals believe that to explore all the 12 lakes and 18 flatlands one need at least 3 days. The whole areas altitude variation varies from 2050m to 3792m above sea level. 
There have been various stories regarding the name of RamaRoshan. Some believes that 'Rama' and 'Roshan' are the two flatlands within a distance of half an hour hence the name RamaRoshan has been derived. On the other story, Rama is a name of different deities and Roshan means the panoramic places and since the deities used to come to that region, the name RamaRoshan has remained.

RamaRoshan lies 42 kms away from the district headquarter of the Achham district, Mangalsain and is easily accessible by gravelled motorrable road. The area itself lies in the middle of 3 districts, Accham, Bajura and Kalikot. The area is a habitant of Nepal’s national bird Danphe, other various birds such as Munal, Kaalij, Dhukur etc. and different wild animals such as tiger, deer, wild boar, beer etc.

The major attraction of RamaRoshan is the flatland and the pond itself. There are huge flatlands adjoining the hills and lakes from where one can go on a hike to nearby districts. A perfect day start with a hike to the pond itself and exploring around the hills. Except for the birds and animals, the area is covered by different varieties of flora and some huge streams.

हाम्रो समाजमा खास गरी सुदूरपश्चिममा प्रचलित धामीझाँक्री प्रथाले समाजमा पारेको असर बारे मैले महसुस गरेका केही कुराहरु बारे लेख्न गैरहेको छु । खास गरि बैतडी को सन्दर्भमा भन्नू पर्दा, बैतडीको सबै जसो मन्दिरमा एक एक जना धामी रहने प्रचलन रहेको छ । खास गरि धेरै पहिले जब औपचारिक संस्थाको रूपमा कुनै न कुनै देवताको नामले मन्दिरहरुको स्थापना भैसकेको थियो तेति बेला गाउँ ठाउँको सबै जसो पक्षमा आपसी छलफल गर्ने मञ्च नै मन्दिर रहेको थियो। आजभोलिको जस्तो गा वि स , समूह, सहकारी , उपभोक्ता समिति, आमा समूह, बि व्य स , जस्तो मान्छे एकठाँउमा भेटघाट गर्ने मन्दिर बाहेक अन्य कुनै निहु थिएन।  महामल सिंह साँउद  मन्दिरमा स्थानीय बुद्धिजीवी पुजारीको रूपमा, एक जना भण्डारण तथा कोष हेर्ने भंडर्या, गाउँ समाजको अगुवा एक जना मुखिया लाई मन्दिर को मुख्य ब्यक्ति को रुपमा मुखिया को पद सिर्जना गरिएको अवस्था होला । कहिलेकाही मन्दिर सम्बन्धि तथा गाउँ ठाउँका साना तिना समस्या तथा वादविवाद , झैझगडा छिनोफानो गर्न अप्ठ्यारो पर्दा धर्म कचहरीको रूपमा रहेको मन्दिर सित संबंधित व्यक्तिहरुको सहयोग पनि लिने अवस्था आएको हुन सक्छ
