Mechinagar is a municipality in Jhapa District, Koshi Province, in eastern Nepal and the main entry point from India on the eastern border. Nepal's customs office is in Kakarvitta, a section of the municipality, and the city lies 475 kilometres south-east of Kathmandu. It began by combining the village committees of Dhulabari and Kakarbhitta and grew in 2017 when Bahundangi, Duhagadhi, Jyamirgadhi and Dhaijan were added. The expanded city has 131,520 people at the 2021 census over 192.52 square kilometres in fifteen wards, which the article says makes it the most populous municipality in the country. The Mechi River separates it from India, the Mahendra and Mechi highways cross it, and Bhadrapur Airport adjoins its southern edge.
