Sandhikharka is a municipality and the district headquarters of Arghakhanchi District in Lumbini Province of Nepal. The former village development committee was converted into a municipality on 18 May 2014 by merging Sandhikharka with Wangla, Narapani, Khanchikot, Kimadada, Argha and Dibharna. The town sits in a valley between the Argha and Khanchi hills at about 960 metres above sea level, and three small rivers, the Bangi, Ghoche and Bhadri, meet at Chutrabeshi within it. Its name is explained as a treaty (sandhi) over the grazing land (kharka) between the two small kingdoms of Argha and Khanchi. The town was attacked by Maoist forces in September 2002 and again in March 2005. The 1991 census counted 8,921 people, and the town has long been known for its schools.
