What is "belbari"

Belbari, officially known as Belbari municipality, is one of the major suburbs of Morang district, Koshi Zone.It lies in the eastern Terai region of Nepal. It was officially upgraded to become a municipality in 2014 AD, which is 2070 BS (Bikram Sambat), which otherwise was a Village Development Committee (VDC) prior to that change. In order to meet the requirements to become a municipality, Belbari VDC merged Kaseni VDC with itself, making it larger in total area. Belbari spreads over an approximate area of 25 square miles. All of the area is plane land, geographically. It is bordered on North and East by the largest and the densest forest of Nepal, the Char Koshe Jhadi (Literal translation: Four Yard Bush). It is bounded on the northeast by Char Koshe Jhadi, while to the east lies another suburb, Laxmimarga. Similarly, the north part is bounded by Kerabari VDC and Letang municipality, while to the west and southwest lie the Kosiharaincha municipality and Kaseni VDC. As of 2011 Nepal census the total population of Belbari was 24076, which included 5724 households. However, the data reflects population size prior to it being upgraded to a municipality. So, after announcing Belbari as municipality from the VDC, the number of households and census should be regarded as more than the mentioned data.
