Palpa District, Administrative district in Lumbini Province, Nepal.

The district encompasses 1,373 square kilometers of land with elevations ranging from 300 to 2,000 meters across upper tropical and subtropical zones.

From the 16th century, the Hindu Sen kingdom established its capital in Tansen, governing the Palpa region for three centuries.

The population includes 52.6 percent Magar people, while other residents represent Hill Brahmin, Chhetri, and Kami communities speaking Nepali and regional languages.

Tansen Municipality serves as the district headquarters, coordinating administrative services and development projects through the District Coordination Committee.

The Ranighat Palace stands along the Kali Gandaki River, featuring architecture that mirrors design elements of the Taj Mahal.
