Koshi Province, Province with Hindu temples and Mount Everest in eastern Nepal.

Koshi Province spans 25,905 square kilometers across diverse landscapes, from Himalayan peaks to subtropical Terai plains in eastern Nepal.

The province received its name from the Koshi River, mentioned in ancient Hindu texts including the Rigveda and Mahabharata religious manuscripts.

Multiple ethnic groups including Chhetri, Brahmin, Rai, and Limbu communities maintain their traditions through festivals, dances, and religious ceremonies.

The region contains multiple protected natural areas, such as Sagarmatha National Park and Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve, accessible through domestic flights.

The province encompasses both Nepal's highest point at Mount Everest and its lowest point at Kechana Kawal, creating extreme elevation differences.
