Chitwan District, Administrative division in southern Bagmati Province, Nepal
The district encompasses 2,238 square kilometers of terrain, including dense forests, fertile plains, and river systems near the Indian border.
The area's name derives from Sanskrit words 'citta' meaning heart and 'vana' meaning forest, indicating its original identity as a forested region.
The indigenous Tharu people maintain their traditions through regional dance performances, music celebrations, and local festivals throughout the district.
Bharatpur Airport and two major highways, Mahendra and Prithvi, provide transportation links to other regions of Nepal from the district.
The district produces substantial quantities of maize and operates numerous mustard oil production facilities due to its fertile soil conditions.
