Morang District, Administrative division in eastern Nepal

Morang District spans 1,855 square kilometers of land between the Koshi River and Kankai River, featuring both agricultural fields and urban centers.

The district traces its origins to the 7th century when King Mung Mawrong Hang established a kingdom after clearing forest areas in present-day Rangeli.

Multiple ethnic groups including Rai, Limbu, and Brahmin communities shape the local traditions through festivals, languages, and religious practices across the district.

The district headquarters connects to the east-west Mahendra National Highway through the Koshi National Highway, facilitating transportation and trade.

Morang contains Nepal's sixth-largest city, Biratnagar, and serves as the primary industrial center for the entire eastern region of the country.
