Overview: Dhangadhi
Dhangadhi (धनगढी) is a sub-metropolitan city and the district seat of the Kailali District in Nepal’s Sudurpashchim Province. It is bounded on the south by Uttar Pradesh, India, on the north by Godawari and Gauriganga Municipality; on the east by Kailari Rural Municipality; and on the west by Kanchanpur District. Dhangadhi is a sub-metropolis of 19 wards.[4] It has a population of roughly 147,181 people and is thus Nepal’s tenth largest city. It covers 261.75 km2 (101.06 sq mi). It, along with Mahendranagar, is a prominent city in Nepal’s Far West Province.
Dhangadhi was founded in 1976. It became the far west’s first sub-metropolitan city after being upgraded from municipality to sub-metropolis status on 18 September 2015, when the village development committees Fulbari and Urma were merged into Dhangadhi, and later wards 9 and 11 of former Attariya Municipality were also merged. There is a story. Due to the dread of thieves, Rana Tharu of Dhangadhi used to conceal their valuables under the earth. That is why Dhangadhi’s name stayed Dhangadhi.
