Dang District, Administrative district in Lumbini Province, Nepal
Description
Dang District is an administrative division in Lumbini Province spanning two parallel valleys between the Sivalik Hills and the Mahabharata Range. The region covers roughly 3,000 square kilometers and forms part of the Inner Terai, a fertile zone with diverse plant life.
History
Archaeological finds in the district, including ancient fossils of apes and early humans, show that the region has a deep human past. These discoveries help scientists understand how humans evolved in Nepal.
Culture
The Tharu people practice traditional ways of living that you can see in daily routines and local celebrations throughout the valley. Temples are scattered across the landscape, and they show how religion shapes the rhythm of life here.
Practical
Ghorahi, the district headquarters, is one of Nepal's larger cities and works as a transportation hub with flight connections and extensive road networks. Visitors should allow extra time for travel in the region since hilly terrain can make journeys longer than expected.
