Rupandehi District, Administrative district in Lumbini Province, Nepal

Rupandehi District spans 1,360 square kilometers across the fertile Terai plains, with elevations ranging from 100 to 1,200 meters above sea level.

The district contains Lumbini, where Prince Siddhartha Gautama was born in 563 BCE, later becoming known throughout the world as Buddha.

The population of over 1.1 million includes Tharu, Brahmin, Chhetri, Magar, Yadav, Muslim, and Madhesi communities speaking Nepali, Awadhi, and Bhojpuri languages.

The Gautam Buddha International Airport in Bhairahawa connects the district with domestic and international destinations through regular flight services.

The district features three major rivers - Tinau, Dano, and Rohini - that support an extensive irrigation system for agricultural production.
