Bajhang District lies in the northern region of Sudurpashchim Province of Nepal. Its administrative headquarter is Chainpur, which acts as the central hub for governance and development. Bajhang is characterized by its remote Himalayan terrain, significant cultural heritage, and rich natural resources. Despite being geographically challenging, the district is home to vibrant communities and is steadily progressing in terms of education and infrastructure.
Bajhang is bordered by Bajura and Humla districts to the east, Baitadi and Darchula districts to the west, Humla district and the Tibetan Autonomous Region of China to the north, and Doti and Achham districts to the south.
The district covers a total area of 3,422 square kilometers and is composed of rugged mountains, river valleys, and high Himalayan terrain. The elevation varies dramatically, providing a rich ecological landscape that includes portions of the Saipal Himalayas. Its geography contributes to natural beauty and logistical challenges, with many settlements in remote high-altitude zones.
Bajhang is administratively divided into 12 local levels, which include:
2 municipalities: Jayaprithvi Municipality and Bungal Municipality
10 rural municipalities: Surma, Chhabispathivera, Kedarseu, Khaptadchhanna, Thalara, Masta, Talkot, Bitthadchir, Saipal, and Durgathali
The district hosts several well-regarded educational institutions, which are key to local development. Notable among them are Satyavadi Secondary School, Sunkuda Secondary School, Durga Bhawani Secondary School, Daulichaur Secondary School, Saraswati Secondary School, and Sunipipalchaur Secondary School.
