Overview
Tripura Sundari Campus was established in Shrikot, Achham, with the local educational idea of “Education for Graduation, In our own Situation.” The campus grew from community effort and public contribution to address local access to higher education.
Before the campus began, students who completed intermediate-level education often had to leave the area for further study. Distance and family income made higher education difficult for many students in Shrikot and nearby settlements. Tripura Sundari Campus was formed to give students a local TU-affiliated study option in Achham.
Location and Access
Tripura Sundari Campus is located in the western part of Achham district. It is situated near Khaptad National Park and at the entrance area of Maalika, a Hindu shrine. Sanfebagar, a main trading area for Achham and Bajura, is about 3 km from the campus.
The main road access to Shrikot is the Dhangadhi–Bajura highway. The campus area is about 260 km from Dhangadhi and 950 km from Kathmandu. Direct bus service from Kathmandu to Sanfebagar connects students and visitors to Shrikot.
