Bharatpur (/bəˈrɑːtpər/, Nepali: भरतपुर, pronounced [ˈbʱʌɾʌt̪pur] (listen)) is a city in southern central Nepal. It is the third most populous city of Nepal after Kathmandu and Pokhara with 369,377 inhabitants in 2021.[2] It is also the second largest metropolitan city in Nepal by area. It is the district headquarter of the Chitwan District.[3]
Bharatpur is the fastest growing city in Nepal. It is located on the western bank the Narayani River, and serves as the commercial center for the Chitwan District and central region of Nepal. The majority of the shopping is located in the Narayangadh area. However, government offices, hospitals, and colleges can be found in other parts of the city. This includes the B.P Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital, Nepal's leading cancer hospital.
After Narayani Municipality (Chitrawan Municipality), Kabilas Village (Kabilas Village) and Narayani Municipality (Narayani Municipality), Bharatpur became a metropolis in March 2017. [5]
The economy of Bharatpur is traditionally based on agriculture. The city also holds a small-scale processing industry that mostly processes the food surpluses of the Chitwan district. Their products are sold to major cities of Nepal, Kathmandu and Pokhara.[citation needed]
