Butwal

Butwal is one of western Nepal's most important commercial cities, located at the foothills of the Pahad range in Rupandehi District where the Tinau River emerges from the hills onto the Terai plains. The city serves as a major junction connecting Lumbini, Tansen, Pokhara, and the Indian border at Sunauli.Butwal's busy bazaars, diverse food scene, and strategic location make it the main transit hub for the entire western Terai region, and the historical Butwal Fort ruins on the adjacent hill are a reminder of the town's strategic past.
