Get inside Jhapa, Nepal




Jhapa is the easternmost district of Nepal and lies in the fertile Madhesh plains. It borders Ilam district in the north,Morang district in the west, the Indian state of Bihar in the south and east, and the Indian state of West Bengal in the east.

Jhapa observes moderate climate complexion as it lies in the Indo-gangetic plain and Churia low hills. Though due to close proximity to lower Himalaya, weather seems to be calm throughout the year. Seasonal monsoon is well distributed across the district. The temperature is highest during May through September, though winter is not that much extreme keeping aside fogging during morning. Climatic variation is not that much extreme however the southern parts of districts are warmer than the northern ones.
