Ilam District, Administrative district in eastern Nepal.
Ilam District spans 1,703 square kilometers across varied elevations from 140 to 3,636 meters, containing numerous tea gardens on sloping terrains near mountain streams.
The district was part of the self-governing Limbuwan states before integration into Nepal during the early nineteenth century through territorial agreements.
The population includes Rai, Limbu, Brahmin, Chhetri, Tamang, Magar, and Sherpa communities, each maintaining distinct traditions within the subtropical mountain environment.
The district headquarters in Ilam Municipality lies 600 kilometers from Kathmandu, with regular bus connections and multiple accommodation options near the tea estates.
The district produces internationally recognized Ilam Tea, grown in specific conditions across multiple estates that form a central part of the local economy.
