Dhangadhi (Nepali: धनगढी) is a sub-metropolitan city[3] and the district headquarters of Kailali District in Sudurpashchim Province of Nepal. It shares a border with India in the south, Godawari and Gauriganga Municipality in the North, Kailari Rural Municipality in the east and Kanchanpur District in the west. Dhangadhi is a sub-metropolis divided into 19 wards.[4] It has an area of 271.74 Sq. KM. It is one of the major cities of Far - West Province of Nepal along with Mahendranagar.[5][6] The city is connected with the Mahakali Highway, about 750 kilometers west of Kathmandu.
Dhangadhi was established in 1976.[7] There is a fable. Rana Tharu of Dhangadhi used to bury their wealth in the ground due to the fear of robbers. That is why the name of Dhangadhi remained Dhangadhi.[8]
198,792 population as per 2021 Nepal census. It is the most densely populated city in the province.[9] It became the first sub-metropolitan city in the far-west after it was upgraded to a sub-metropolis from municipality status on 18 September 2015 as the village development committees Fulbari and Urma were merged into Dhangadhi and later wards 9 and 11 of former Attariya Municipality were also merged.
