Birgunj
Population: 204,816 (2011 Census).
Birgunj is situated about 3 Km from the Indian northern border city of Raxaul. It is a main entry point to Nepal from India for routes such as Calcutta and Patna. Most of the foreign goods shipped to Nepal by sea go through Calcutta-Haldia Port to Raxaul to Birgunj then reach main cities like Kathmandu. So, Birgunj is an important land entry point for goods to Nepal.
Apart from a few tourists who actually go to Birgunj to see the city, the city is simply taken as a stop over place for travelers, businessmen and pilgrims going to other destinations in Nepal. But spending a day or two at Birgunj is recommended, and is worth it, to discover another taste of Terai of Nepal!
