Why Butwal Matters for Sellers Shipping Out of Kathmandu
Butwal isn’t just another stop on the map. It’s the commercial backbone of Lumbini Province, and demand for reliable courier service here keeps growing.
-
Second largest city in Lumbini province and 12th largest in Nepal, with population of around 1,95,000 (2021 census)
-
Sits at the junction of Mahendra Highway and Siddartha Highway, making it the main gateway between Kathmandu and western Nepal
-
Part of a fast-growing urban cluster with Tilottama and Bhairawa, with combined population well above 4,00,000
