Government official visits in remote area after 20 years, Sindhupalchowk

Sindhupalchowk District is a part of Bagmati Zone and one of the seventy-five districts of Nepal.Although this district is close to Nepal's capital Kathmandu, it is one of the least developed districts in Nepal. The Arniko Highway, also called Kodari Highway, extending from Kathmandu to Kodari links this district with Tibet. The district is mountainous and rich in natural resources. The district is easily accessible from Kathmandu. People depend entirely on agriculture for their survival. Since the district is hilly, the land is not very fertile, and the yield is very low. Almost every VDC has access to electricity, and roads connecting to the highway. Many NGOs and INGOs are working in the district in order to improve the living standards. The Bhote Koshi, Indrawati, Sun Kosi and Bramhayani rivers flow through this district. Sunkoshi Hydropower station and Upper Bhotekoshi Hydropower station are hydropower stations connected to the national grid. Mini and large hydroelectricity plants are being constructed in different places.
