Nepalgunj is the district headquarters of Banke District in the Bheri region of Mid Western Nepal. The place has many advantages. As it the central point of the Mid-Western Region, you can reach other places easily by road or air. A lot of people visit the town for official business or shopping. Due to the near proximity to India, supplies are quite cheap, esp. vegetables. Many Nepalis cross the border and go shopping in Rupaidiha, a little market town just beyond the border. One can easily move around the place by bicycle, or hire one of the many rickshaws.
