Udayapur District

Udayapur District spans 2,063 square kilometers between the Koshi River and Sun Kosi River, featuring elevations from 360 to 2,310 meters above sea level.

The district headquarters moved from Panchawati to Gaighat in 1972, marking a significant change in the administrative structure during Nepal's development period.

The district population includes Chhetri, Rai, Magar, and Tharu communities, with Nepali speakers representing 51.7 percent of the inhabitants according to census data.

The District Coordination Committee manages local governance through municipalities including Triyuga, Katari, Chaudandigadhi, and Belaka, providing essential services to 342,773 residents.

The convergence of three rivers at Tribeni creates a natural landmark that draws Hindu devotees to perform religious ceremonies throughout the year.
