Koshi Barrage, Hydraulic control structure in Saptari District, Nepal
The Koshi Barrage stretches 1,150 meters across the river with 56 gates regulating water flow between Madhesh Province and Koshi Province.
Construction of the barrage took place from 1958 to 1962 following the Koshi Agreement between Nepal and India signed in 1954.
The structure serves as a gathering point where visitors sample traditional fish dishes at riverside establishments while observing the flowing waters.
The barrage maintains water levels for irrigation purposes and provides a direct transportation route connecting the Sunsari and Saptari districts.
During the migration season from August to October, the barrage area becomes a temporary home for Siberian birds and Gangetic dolphins.
