Patan is a municipality in Baitadi District in Sudurpaschim Province of far-western Nepal. It was formed on 2 December 2014 by merging the former villages of Sakar, Silanga, Bhumeswor Gujar, Basantapur and Patan, and it has ten wards, with its office at the former Patan village committee. About 19,911 people were counted at the 2011 census. It lies in the central part of the district on a gently sloping valley of pine-forested hills, famous for rice cultivation along the Surnaya river, between Dadeldhura and Baitadi Khalanga. It hosts several district government offices, Bhimdutta Polytechnic Institute, and a small airport that has been upgraded but is not served by flights. It is one of ten planned smart cities along the Mid-Hill Highway, a plan that has raised fears for its farmland.
