Mangalsen is the district headquarters of Achham district, and it is 930 kilometers from Kathmandu, it is eight hours walk from Sanfebagar, a settlement in Achham which has a domestic airport. A seasonal road exists from Sanfebagar to Mangalsen, but it is often closed during the monsoon. However, a bridge under construction in Sanfebagar across the Budhiganga River, upon completion will allow vehicles to cross the river even during the high flood season making access easy between the airport and district headquarters.
The major ethnic groups in the district are Chhetris of Kunwar, Swnar, Rawal, Bogati, Khati, Rokka, Khatri, Kathayat, Bhandari, Bista, Batala, Saud, Dhami, Bohara, and Thakulla castes. There are also Brahmins with Devkota, Bajagain, Dhungana, Regmi, Joshi, Rijal, Bhattarai, Bista, Dhakal and Mudbhari castes.
The cultural heritage of this district is similar to that of Doti. The important aspects of the cultural heritage are the dances such as Narsinga,Jhayali and Deuda. These dances are typical to this area, and performed during major festivals.
There are several important religious places along the bank of the holy river Budhiganga, and along the confluence of Budhiganga and Saraswati. These are described in the Skanda Puran, one of the holy scriptures of the Hindus. They have potential scope for the development of religious tourism in Achham.Topography Location Longitude: 81° 02"-81" 35"Latitude: 28" 45"-29" 23"Communication Post Office, Telephone, Wireless.
