Taplejung is located in North Eastern Nepal; the Tamor River flows through the district. The area is famous for its proximity to Kanchenjunga, the third highest mountain in the world. Taplejung has an airstrip with commercial flights to Biratnagar and Kathmandu. A road connects the district headquarters with the Tarai plains. Most of the population are involved in agriculture, and the vegetation zones range from sub-tropical to temperate forests, alpine meadows, and snow, and ice.
Taplejung is one of the most beautiful areas in eastern Nepal, with a spectacular landscape, Himalayan peaks of heights above 7000 meters and a wide range of flora and fauna. Mt. Kanchanjunga (8586 m), the world's third largest peak, lies in this region. Alpine grassland, rocky out crops, dense temperate and subtropical forests, and no river valleys make up the region. Taplejung occupies an area ranging from 670 meters to 8586 meters (Mt. Kanchanjunga) above sea level.
[edit] Pathibhara Devi Temple
One of the major attractions is the Pathibhara Devi Temple. This little known region attracts tourists seeking spiritual fulfilment and blessings from the powerful Pathibhara Devi. Hindus as well as Buddhists reach the temple for celebrations during special occasions. The trek to Pathibhara Devi (3794 m) combined with the natural and cultural experiences of the region make the visit a unique exhilarating experience. It takes a day to reach the temple on foot from Taplejung Bazaar. On the way to the temple one can find many species of rhododendron.

For those wanting to travel Taplejung by road there are two available options. The first one is from Kathmandu to Birtamod (about 500 km, which takes approximately 14 hours), and then from Birtamod to Taplejung Bajar (about 300 km -the roads are hilly and are pitched up to Phidim district town). The second option is to travel from Kathmandu to Dharan (about 450 km) and from Dhran to Dhankuta, Hiley, Sindha, and Basantapur. After Basantapur travelers have to walk on foot. It might not be a good option but walking through the jungle of Gufaa is exciting.
The airport in Suketar can only accommodate aircraft Short Take-off and Landing (STOL).
