Saptari District

Saptari District is an administrative area in eastern Madhesh Province covering roughly 1,360 square kilometers between the plains and forested hills. The Sapta Koshi river forms a natural boundary while the landscape transitions from flat agricultural land to rolling terrain.

The district was established as an administrative division and developed into a major agricultural center in the eastern Terai region. Its location made it strategically important for trade and farming activities that shaped the area over generations.

Maithili is the primary language spoken by most residents, shaping daily interactions and local traditions throughout the district. The language connects this community to a broader cultural heritage that influences how people celebrate and communicate with each other.

The District Administration Office in Rajbiraj serves as the main hub for public services and local information for visitors. The best time to visit is after the monsoon season when roads are in good condition and travel is easier.

The district is home to the Chinnamasta Bhagawati temple, which draws pilgrims from neighboring regions during festival seasons. The temple holds religious importance and serves as a significant spiritual destination for visitors throughout the year.
