If you're traveling by car within Seti Zone, start your journey from the major town of Dhangadhi. Head east on the Dhangadhi to Mahendranagar road (Highway 9). After approximately 60 km, look for signs directing you to Api Nampa Conservation Area. You'll need to take a left turn onto a smaller road that leads to the conservation area. Keep an eye out for local signage, as it can be easy to miss. The drive should take around 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on road conditions.

Confirm with the bus driver that they will stop near Api Nampa Conservation Area. The bus ride will take about 2 hours. Once you arrive at the nearest stop, you may need to hire a local taxi or a motorbike to reach the entrance of the conservation area, which may cost around NPR 500 to NPR 1000 depending on the distance.
