Darchula District, Administrative district in Sudurpashchim Province, Nepal
The district encompasses 2,322 square kilometers of terrain in northwestern Nepal, bordering India and China with mountainous landscapes and river valleys.
Following the decline of the Katyuri kingdom, Darchula became part of the Doti Kingdom until 1790 when Gorkha forces annexed the territory.
The district name originates from Dotyali language terms, where 'Dar' refers to a peak and 'Chula' denotes a traditional three-stone cooking area.
The population of 133,310 residents spreads across nine municipalities, with Khalanga in Mahakali Municipality functioning as the administrative center.
The Api Nampa Conservation Area within Darchula provides access routes for pilgrims traveling to Kailash Mansarovar in Tibet.
