Belaka is a municipality in Udayapur District in Koshi Province of eastern Nepal, and one of the four urban municipalities of that district. It was formed on 10 March 2017, when the Government of Nepal announced 744 local level units under its new constitution, by merging the former village development committees of Tapeshwari, Rampur Thoksila, Mainamaini and Katunjebawala. The municipality is divided into nine wards and its headquarters is at Rampur Bazar in ward 9. It covers about 344.73 square kilometres and had a population of 51,458 at the 2021 census. It lies in the easternmost part of the district between the Shiwalik and Mahabharat ranges, and the Sun Kosi River flows along its northern border. The Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve, a Ramsar site established in 1976, lies in ward 2, and the Bhootiya Daha waterfall and pool is a local attraction.
