Bagmati Province, Administrative province in central Nepal
Bagmati Province is an administrative division in central Nepal, covering mountain ranges in the north and lower terrain in the south. The territory includes valleys, rivers, and settlements distributed across different elevations throughout its expanse.
This administrative unit formed during a nationwide reorganization and took its name from the river flowing through the territory. Hetauda was chosen as the permanent seat of government a few years later.
The name honors the Bagmati River, which flows through this territory and holds sacred meaning for many who live along its banks. Families from different communities share daily routines in markets and temples, creating a rhythm of life shaped by both mountain and valley traditions.
The area offers roads and trails linking villages and cities at different altitudes, with conditions varying by season and location. Travelers should prepare for different weather and terrain types when moving between regions.
Visitors often cross multiple climate zones in a single day when traveling from cold heights to warmer valleys. The changing vegetation along routes reflects these rapid altitude shifts.
