Siraha District

Siraha District is an administrative region in southern Nepal that stretches across a flat landscape between mountain regions to the north and India to the south. The district comprises several towns and villages linked by main roads and includes local facilities serving the wider area.

The district emerged during Nepal's administrative reorganization when the country shifted from 34 districts to its current structure of 77 divisions. This change reflected evolving needs for regional management and local governance across the nation.

Maithili is the language you hear in daily life, spoken by most residents who maintain strong ties to their traditions and seasonal celebrations. This linguistic identity shapes community gatherings, markets, and family interactions throughout the region.

Air travel from Rajbiraj Airport connects you to other parts of the country, while the main highway system allows you to move between towns in the district. Planning your visit between October and May gives you better road conditions and clearer weather.

Lahan town is home to a regional eye hospital that draws patients from across the area seeking specialized care. This facility has made the town a medical destination beyond its role as a local center.
