About this place
Birgunj is a major commercial hub in southern Nepal, sitting right on the border with the Indian state of Bihar. Known as the "Gateway to Nepal," it's a bustling entry point for goods and travelers coming from India and the port of Kolkata. While not a traditional tourist destination, the city offers a raw slice of cross-border life and serves as a practical transit point to nearby national parks.
The city blends Nepali and Indian influences in its food, commerce, and daily rhythm. Visitors can explore a handful of cultural and religious sites, and the proximity to Parsa Wildlife Reserve and Chitwan National Park makes it a potential base for wildlife enthusiasts heading north.
