Posts of Kailali

Nepalese remember Kailali for the August 24, 2015, Tikapur Massacre, during which 7 policemen, including a 2-year-old minor, were killed in broad daylight. This event affected the Nepali community, causing division along political lines. The region has its own socio-political structure, where the Tharu govern through their own local laws and don’t typically report complaints or file cases with government agencies. If your focus is on studying traditional governance, Kailali can be a fascinating destination to explore. 

Kailali is also home to Nepal’s first bird sanctuary, the Ghodaghodi wetland, the site hosts 12 globally threatened bird species.
