Ramdhuni-Bhasi

Ramdhuni is a municipality in Sunsari District, Koshi Province, in eastern Nepal. It was established in 2014 and was previously known as Jhumka Bazar. The town lies about 356 kilometres from Kathmandu between Itahari and Inaruwa, with the Mahendra Highway running through its centre. The Chatara Canal, part of the Sunsari Morang Irrigation Project, leaves the Koshi River and flows through the town from north to south, supplying water for agriculture across Sunsari and Morang districts. Ramdhuni covers 91.69 square kilometres and has a population of 63,452. It sits in the Terai plain at roughly 185 metres above sea level and is a gateway to Chatara, Barahakshetra Temple and the Ramdhuni Temple; the nearest airport is Biratnagar, about thirty kilometres away.
